A member asked:
What's the expert opinion, could the taste-buds return after radiation treatment to face and neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only time will tell.: Only time will tell. They can return normally, or partially, or not at all. Radiation treatments today are much more exacting in nature so less radiation can be used. As a result permanent damage is greatly reduced.
