Thanks Jackie07 and MtnGirl!
It is good to have more understanding of what may be involved with treatment, so that we can be better prepared and make choices more honestly, especially with treatment that has no guarantee of working on an individual basis. Especially now that adjuvant treatment is becoming so prevalent.
I still have some ability to taste, although it is pretty generally minimal. (And I certainly haven't found that it caused me to stop eating!)
