Thanks Dr. Mike for the information. Thankfully, over the past week or so the salt taste has slowly decreased, making it much easier to eat and drink. Seems like it hit both myself and Kurt about the same time and hopefully it improves for him as well. Drinking lots and lots of water, staying away from salty foods, and will be very sick of oatmeal and Ensure at the end of all of this. Thank goodness today marks 4 weeks of radiation down, and 2 to go. Can't wait!
