@northoftheborder Reducing spicy foods will be a challenge. I lost my sense of smell 32 years ago and spicy is about the only thing I can taste. I guess we will see which wins out - irritation or tastelessness.

@anosmic1 Yeah, I'm the same way with tea. I haven't given up my Assam or Earl Grey or Masala Chai, and tolerate a little mild irritation many days as a result.

Alcohol and carbonated drinks aren't a big part of my life, so limiting both hasn't been a challenge. And spicy food irritates mainly the radiation proctitis, which isn't as big a deal for me as the radiation cystitis.
