I finished treatment in May 2006 (radiation/chemo) and I still have taste issues, especially with sweets. I hear it's different with everybody but I think the deal with sweets is pretty common. They still taste horrible to me - I would even say no better now than when I first started eating again after treatment. For me it's probably best as I don't need them anyhow - the only downside is that a lot of fruit doesn't taste good any more either because of its sweetness.
Best of luck in your husband's recovery....
