I have had decreased taste and smell from my IMRT radiation. I would say I am about 50% which is now 1.5 years from treatment. The taste ranges with the type of foods but I don't seem to get that extra flavor of most foods I use to get. My smell was only about 60% before so I was use to that, but the smell even has gotten worse too?
