Oh, I am so jealous of Tim's taste recovering. I only finished radiation last Friday, so my taste is still gone and I've got a mouth full of mucositis and rope saliva to go with it, but the throat feels okay and I can swallow.

But, what I would give right now to be able to taste the foods Tim just enjoyed.

I just read your thread for the first time and I agree Tim did great throughout it all. That's a real tribute to his strength and determination. It could have been so much worse.

I'm trying to get the hair on the back of my neck to growing again too.

take care,
Tony
