I also have an impaired sense of taste. I've been done with radiation and chemo since early January. I think it's come back as much as it's going to. Like Nelie, my sense of smell is very sensitive. During radiation was when I really noticed. Even as my taste has returned to a certain degree, my sense of smell is stronger than it ever has been.
