No taste or smell after radio chemotherapy.

Hello everyone.

I had my cancer op in September 2021. I had 5 tumours removed. 1 from my tongue, 3 from the lymph nodes in my neck and one from a vein in my neck.

Following the op I underwent 30 sessions of radiotherapy and 2 sessions of chemotherapy.

 My treatment finished on the 10th of December. I am a bit disappointed that 6 months later I still have no taste or smell.

 I was wondering if anyone has gone through a similar op and treatment and could advise on when I should hope to get these 2 senses back.

Thank you for reading this.
