And I'm actually fine with the numb tongue--it's just that nobody warned me about it. It sounds like your cancer had a lot more to do with taste than mine did--I had breast twice, then one kidney. My tongue (and soles of the feet) neuropathies were related to chemo and not the cancer itself.

And you *are* just a spring chicken--why, I'm barely hatched myself!
