Thanks to all of you who responded on taste loss. VERY best wishes to you, Steve J. Hang in there! Joe is forcing himself to eat, even if he can't taste it. Started working out a little and that seem to improve his spirit. We were lucky to have several cases of Boost left from his feeding tube days. That has been a litteral lifesaver. He didn't have the feeding tube for the cancer, but the day after his tumor surgery was hit with a neuro-muscular disease that, within 5 days, paralyzed him totally and put him in ICU, on vent and feed tube for 3 months, THEN, he could address the cancer issue. He's had a long haul, but looks like dalight soon, thank God!
