Wow, my taste recovery was exactly opposite except for the fact I started tasting again about 2 mos. after radiation. It is now almost 4 mos. after treatment and I can pretty much taste everything but sweets. This is probably a good thing in that I was an Ice Cream freak and, at this point,it simply doesn't appeal to me anymore. Due to my reduced saliva and the resultant capacity for tooth decay, I am glad it is the sweets I can't taste. I have also found it difficult to eat foods that tend to be dry like chicken which was a major staple of my former diet.
