Hi all,

Sorry I'm just now responding. I'm going through some depression and some days are just lost to me. I completed seven weeks of radiation and chemo last week and yes, I still have no sense of taste. And I have the mouth sores. I have to say the loss of taste has really taken an emotional toll on me. I'm struggling. Right now I'm still tube-feeding. I'm hoping at least a little sense of taste - just basic - comes back soon.
