Hey Lisa --

I understand completely -- I was about 2 - 3 weeks behind you in the treatment process, as you can tell from my signature.

I have the same feeling --- taste is pretty basic, and not very "full" right now. Chocolate is kind of grainy and bitter to me right now. Beef is OK, chicken so-so, pork not bad. Eggs and fruits pretty good.

It's the "new normal" as they say, and I am hopeful that there will be more improvement, but willing to accept it if there isn't.

On the bright side, other than neck and shoulder issues from the radiation and neck dissection, I have been very luck so far. Congrats on your clear scans!!!
