Michelle,
Bill is now seven 1/2 months post treatment. He explains that everything tastewise is still "different." He savors salty as that is the least affected. Sweets seem to be the most affected, in particular, fruits are not as enjoyable to him but he eats the cookies that my Mom makes in a heartbeat. I notice that he doesn't go for Bleu Cheese dressing anymore..it used to be his favorite (tends to use Ranch.) He still eats everything though so it seems nothing disgusts him. My experience, from reading the boards, is that patients are still recovering even a year and 1/2 out.
Oh, and Bill doesn't complain about things "burning" him...even spicy or acidic things.
