Lab work and Check-Ups still look great. Every appointment still brings a sense of anxiety but also a sense of relief when done.  Appointments are now moving to every 4 months from every 3 months.  Taste Buds are still an issue.  Sweet tastes are not returning except sometimes a first taste bite. Spicy Food still sets the mouth on fire, but Jim eats them anyway hoping that one day that it will stop and he can enjoy the heat again!  Dry Mouth is still existent. Gum and Water are a must to carry all the time.  There are moments of resentment and frustration, but they pass quickly.  You just adjust and are always thankful!
