Just finished treatments last week. Worst part is not being able to eat except thru peg tube (everything taste like cardboard). They are saying like 6 mos to regain my tastes, which means another 6 mos of this stupid tube. Does it really take that long to get taste back? Anything I can do to help stimulate taste buds back to health?

Age 51, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, lymph node on left tonsil, 6 wks chemo - 7 wks radiation, treatments ended 12/1/06 (hopefully)....
