But after those two worst weeks just after treatment ended, there were gradual improvements and we celebrated each small new taste that he was able to enjoy. I remember once when he tried to eat a gourmet jelly bean I had gotten for his 5-year old daughter and he was so surprised that he could taste it, his daughter and I danced around the kitchen yelling yay!! Each improvement along the way is so encouraging and gives more and more hope for more good days to come! It's wonderful that your husband has such a good attitude with everything he has been through. He really sounds like a great guy! Just hang in there and soon the worst will be over and you can start seeing more and more good days ahead. Stay in touch and keep us updated.
