I've you tried different things in terms of sweet/sour/salty/bitter tastes? It might be that one tastes better than the others. I know when I was recovering from radiation for the oral cancer, salty things such as chicken broth tasted good before anything else. And I seem to recall a woman in the breast cancer support group I was in who was going through chemo saying that sour stuff, such as lemonade, tasted good to her even when the chemo made other stuff taste nasty.
Just keep experimenting-that is the best advice I have. And hang in there -I've been thinking of you!
