The good news is you are a month past treatment. That is HUGE! There are side effects to deal with without doubt. Loss of taste is certainly one of them. Along with that goes the joy and pleasure of eating. It is now a job you just have to do to get better.
Since you can eat orally, keep trying various things. Head off to a buffet and sample things that you can chew and swallow and hopefully get some taste buds firing.
If you have trouble swallowing, keep blending or grinding food so it is easier to swallow. Taste and swallow will return - just no specific date on the calendar. Good luck.
