My husband, Dan, has the same problems. He is 4 months post radiation and can eat different things now, but he has no taste buds so the desire to eat is really not there. I try and get him to eat more all the time but he says I should try eating cardboard that gets stuck in the throat and makes one cough and gag. I hope you and Dan will soon be able to taste and eat without so much trouble. Even though I see him go thru this everyday, I can't imagine what it's like inside to feel all these different things. You are in my prayers!
