I'm only 5 rads in and 1 chemo. I've had 2 neck surgeries plus the tonsils removed most recently so my taste have been messed up since 12-26. Everything went bland Sunday. Almost awful tasting. I was very suprised today at how fast my throat changed. I had noticed a little bit of drying or something since my 2nd treatment, but today it went south very quick. I started to feel a little nausea after my visit and my throat really started to change. It feels dry and swolllen inside, but not painful yet. I guess I'm a little freaked out about the sudden change. I DID NOT realize how much I took taste for granted. I Do now. :-)
