I did get my sense of taste back. I would say it was at about 50% one year post treatment and is now at about 90%.
I don’t know if it is luck or if I can attribute it to my acupuncture treatments. It was my care team at the cancer hospital that recommended such. Apparently, some head & neck patients have had good success with these methods. I am one of those. Acupuncture (Chinese Methods) have helped me with many of my radiation and chemotherapy side effects. Along with Acupuncture (in which I previously thought was quackery) but am now a believer included electric needling, cupping, ear seeds, heat therapy along with several other methods.
If anyone feels that this is something they would consider trying. I definitely highly recommend that they do their research. The person I go to has extensive training including in China and receiving her doctorate in Victoria with over 20 years experience. There are numerous people/places that offer this type of therapy with minimal training, education and experience.
