Eric, I had similar treatments. My mouth is still sore, especially with spicy foods. Even toothpaste hurts. But you have to get through it and do the best you can. Taste is still terrible for everything. Nothing tastes the same and I can't eat thick bread or sweets. Sweets taste very, very sour to me. Can't drink anymore as wine and beer taste awful and scotch burns my mouth very badly. Can't drink coffee anymore, either as it tastes bad. Generally, taste is a thing of the past but as Karen said, it is a small price to pay. And not eating fruit, especially citrus, while its missed, can be lived with. Congrats on getting through the treatments and keep your chin up as it gets better over time.
