Oz, Paul, and others make really good points. Hydration is important, every day is a crap shoot as things change around and aren't consistent after treatment for a long, long time! It's critical to rest well, stay hydrated, savor the first few bites, as saliva loss occurs taste flattens out, and keep trying new things and pushing yourself. Even prior to my last bout starting a few months ago tastes changed around a lot even after eight years, but I was grateful to eat and as Tony says above, "Still enjoying being on this side of the grass." Best to all.
