Does taste return after radiation for thyroid cancer?

This is a hard question. And I don't think there's a definitive answer. I'm told that your taste can return after radiation for thyroid cancer. But in some cases the changes will be permanent. Usually you will at least experience a partial recovery. But before you go assuming that you're one of the unlucky ones, you should know that it can take three to six months for your taste to return after radiation for thyroid cancer. I think this estimate is based on the time it takes an average person's taste buds to heal. Hope this info is helpful.
