Hi. Mine has almost disappeared too. I can sometimes taste or small something but it has to be a strong smell. Does your tongue feel as tho it's scalded ? Ivor Lewis 2010.

Wonder if it is to do with the chemo rather than the procedure itself. My husband had the op nearly 6 years ago and his tastes change regularly. Something he ate and enjoyed can be a no go another time. He never had a problem before surgery!
