Hi, Does anyone know how long before the taste buds return on a regular basis? My husband said it was so weird - he is 2 months post radiation treatment, and although he has had a plethora of problems with his mouth - his taste buds were kind of working - until just a few days ago. He said it was just like someone switched off a light - and there is hardly any taste with the food he's been eating nowadays - even his all-time favorite (Mrs. Weiss's Noodle Soup) which he loves - has no taste lately! Is this normal? And if this is to be expected - on average, when do those "buds" return? There is also significant dry mouth as well. How can taste buds just "turn themselves off" like that? Thanks for any info. you can shed on this.
