@prettyflower, I wonder if you might find some helpful tips in this related discussion:
- How long before my taste buds recover after H&N treatments?

I assume without a sense of smell, your husband's sense of taste is off too. I like your creative approach to experiment with textures and temperatures. It seems to be helping. Has he been working with a dietitian?

Thanks so much for commenting. We recently saw the radiation oncologist and he will be referring us to a dietician in their center. So I feel hopeful about that. My husband had slight improvement in his enjoyment level after getting the packing removing from his nose. His Pinot Grigio suddenly became somewhat enjoyable again.😉 But I know that things will change again with radiation.
