Thanks David and Paul, you would never think there was so much involved in just tasting! The reason I was asking is the very first symptom I had before I noticed my tonsil was that I noticed when I ate a piece of that pre sliced processed cheese it tasted different, almost like it was just chemicals (lol it probably is but it's all I could taste). Now three and a half months post treatment I had a slice the other day, I can't remember if I'd had it since treatment but I thought I had and it went back to tasting normal. But now after retrying it, it has that chemical taste back again. I'm really scared that it may mean my cancer is not all gone and is beginning to grow again. frown
