Hang in there! I only had radiation (both sides) and no chemo. I still am not crazy about chocolate anymore, tho my brain wants it badly! Ice cream tastes funky, and I miss frozen yogurt something fierce. A week ago I couldn't eat quesadillas, however two days ago...I could! It was wonderful! They tasted exactly the same! Fruit is just now starting to taste good again too! As it's been said before, of course we are all different, but it took me 7 months to get here. Don't give up hope! smile
