Katie,

I just want you to know that my husband lost his taste and salivary glands as well when he went through rad and chemo in 2007. He says not everything tastes like cardboard, and some things he can taste. He gets along just fine. He sticks to foods he likes and remembers what they used to taste like and that helps. After the lary surgery in 2010 he actually regained alot more saliva. Really don't know why. It really is manageable. You will learn to adjust. He did. Hope that helps.
