AFTER chemo taste deficiencies

Thanks, Alaska Angel. I changed the title, hoping others long finished with chemo will read my question.

Recently I've been hearing that thyroid issues are common with brain injury. I wonder if that could be related to the hunger feeling? I haven't noticed that myself.

I am learning as much as I can about the brain, since I'm still seriously impacted by chemo brain. The brain really is amazing, and I'm glad to learn that it has abilities way beyond computers to build itself new ways to do things!

Here's a fascinating book: " The Brain That Changes Itself" by Norman Doidge, MD. Nothing about taste though...
