I'm just barely ahead of you on the treatment schedule. Today will complete 3 weeks of radiation for me. I have the same problem - everything tastes horrible. I can still eat yogurt - while I don't taste it much, it at least doesn't taste 'bad' to me like everything else. Primarily I am getting my nutrition through my PEG tube. The PEG is a lifesaver because I can't get enough yogurt in to be a healthy diet by itself. Like so many others have already said, I highly recommend the PEG. Works great for me.
