@dragonfire Wonderful news,so happy for you. It must be a great feeling to get a clear scan,such a relief I'm sure. It must be tough to not have your taste buds back much,very frustrating. Have you tried Chinese food, for some reason my husband can taste this. He has tried General tsao? He also can taste their ribs,which is a lot like teriyaki? As yet he can't taste potato or bread. He did get some taste from a cinnamon bun,have you tried one? I suppose as you had a lot more treatments than he did your taste may be a bit slower to return. It will get better though. I hope you continue to get good news from your doctors!

@dragonfire Great news. It can take months if not years to get most of your tastes back. You may even have a few setbacks but it looks like you are on to recovery. In the future, every little thing that crops up your mind likely will go to thoughts of cancer. Likely it is not. I will let you know when that feeling subsides. For me it has not as of yet but it only has been twenty-five years. In the meantime, welcome to the other side.
