@weebiscuit, thanks for clarifying what you're looking for. You'll notice that I changed the title of this discussion to better reflect the experiences you're looking for. I'm sure you're encouraged to hear @mira24's experience of taste returning about 6 months after treatment with cisplatin.

I'd also like to bring @grandpabob @jimmy2248 @merpreb and @alpaca into this discussion as I believe they've had experience with lost taste buds post radiation and chemo (in particular cisplatin).
