Dear fellow whole brain radiation survivors:
I seem to have lost my sense of taste after 10 out of 20 doses of whole brain radiation. Or, maybe it is my sense of smell, such a major component in taste.
Whenever I get my doses of radiaiton, I always smell a metalic/sulphur smell. I asked the technician, and she said that smell is only in my head because they are near my olafactory nerve. Very weird.
I thought at first food was tasting like nothing because of a bad cold I was geting over. A lot of sinus congestion.
Will my smell/taste come back? I sure hope so. I dear friend gave me an enormous box of chocolates from an excellent chocolatier in NYC (Jacques Torres) and they all taste like nothing right now! I am still eating them, trying to taste something!
This is not the end of the world, but like my hair, will taste come back
