Long-term taste deficiency

Do others have this problem? It's not up there with the serious stuff, but...

It's been over 3 years since chemo, and my taste buds still haven't woken up! Every year I look forward to NEXT year when I'll be able to taste vine-ripened tomatoes and other good food.

I expected it during chemo, but not this long! I think it really started when I started Taxol+Herceptin. Before that (A/C), everything tasted awful, but I could taste!

I'd like to hear your experiences (and hopefully your solutions!)

Thanks. - Carol
