I am 3 months out from treatment, taste started back at 2 weeks post tx, improving at two week intervals. I now have 85% of my taste back, if not more. I literally willed my taste back, smelling my food, then imagining that I actually tasted it even if I really couldn't. Call it 'taste training'.
Left tonsil SCC, HPV+. T2N0M0. Tonsillectomy 3-07, bilateral radiation, cisplatin 3x, Tx completed 6-06. Clear PET 4-01-2008.
Thyroidectomy 5-9-08, resulting in permanent surgically-induced hypoparathyroidism and adrenal problems. Bummer.
