Not sure of the extent of his radiation, but it was 7 weeks after my treatment before I could eat. Taste comes back slowly. Sweets came first. I esp. like brown sugar on oatmeal. NO CARBONATED BEVERAGES for a while as they will burn.
Give it some time. I think it will slowly get back to normal.
SCC, base of tongue, 2 lymph nodes, stage 3/4. 35 X's IMRT radiation, chemo: Cisplatin x 2, 5FU x2, & Taxol x2. Hooray, after 3 years I'm in still in remission.
