Hey Russ,

Not a bad attitude...and as they say attitude is everything...and as I say..."I always have an attitude"

Yes, I believe you will come to a point where your taste is affected. Maybe IMRT is different. But, most of it should come back. Although some of us have lost different things. I myself lost my taste for chocolate. It is really nasty tasting to me and also some forms of sugar. So, I still am finding my old sweet tooth. (maybe that's one of the ones they pulled)

My husband has had all of his teeth extracted and does really well at eating and talking. It's not as good as original but he isn't too limited in what he eats. Although corn on the cob is a challenge. Talking is great too even without his teeth in.

You will do well, simply because I can tell by your resolve you plan to do well.

Take care,
Dinah
