@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.

I wanted to follow up since it has been some time. I had my PET scan results and it was good news the test was clear the oncologist said it looked great. The physical exam did not show any signs either. This is great news however my taste is so very slow to return after 18 weeks now. I see my ENT next week but don't see the oncologist for 2.5 months.

15 weeks post radiation and taste still very limited. PET scan is today will know results in 2 weeks. This is still a difficult slow journey I never dreaming of experiencing. I miss my taste so very much can taste some things but many things no taste yet. I keep reading it will take 4 to 6 months to see noticeable improvement do not know how accurate that is. How is your husband doing with treatments hope things are going well.
