I can still swallow, and until a couple of days ago was eating normal foods like soups as I could still taste. However, that disappeared yesterday so now I am doing the Peg thing more...I can't eat what I can't taste! The one thing that bugs me is the thickened saliva..ewwww..it is so disgusting!
Good luck with the rest of your treatment Chetan...let's hang in there and soldier on!! Both of us are past the halfway mark..that is a huge achievement! Take care :-)
