I can taste baloney, pickles, mustard the best. My next step will be back to hot and spicy I cannot describe how much I miss tacos. I have tried a couple to hot sauces could feel the heat but only so much taste. I grilled burgers and they had more taste but everything still lacking. My tongue swelling is still there so eating takes me awhile. I was told years ago aging in not fun and they were right. When I was going through treatments I could taste jello don't know why. I hope things go well for your husband this is nothing but a living nightmare for anyone going through this. I am the family cook and not being able to taste is frustrating.

@dragonfire At least you can taste some foods. I'm sure it's very frustrating for you but it will get better. Think about how you felt last week, this week is probably a little better. It's like baby steps to get back to normal, but you will get there. Let us know how your dr visit goes and your pet scan results.
