Im so relieved you are finally doing much better. I was starting to get very concerned and wondered why your doc hadnt admitted you. At only a few weeks post rads, Id be very surprised if you said you could taste food correctly again already. Thankfully the worst of this is behind you. Now that you are doing better with your intake, you will start to recover, slooowwlllllyyyyyy! Your sense of taste will come back, but it takes many weeks/months before its even close to what it was pre-rads. Dont be surprised if all of a sudden you take a bite and it actually has a taste. That flavor might disappear after the first couple bites so dont get discouraged if you have many ups and downs with your sense of taste. Its all part of the healing process. Recovery is definitely a huge testing of ones patience!!! Thanks again for updating us . Best wishes with your continued recovery!!!
