You simply do not want to eat or drink, because you cant taste anything and it is a nightmare to swallow anything without washing it down with copious quantities of water.
I have gone from 107kg to 78kg and no matter what I do I cannot put any on.
I must admit, I would prefer to be in your boots, the thought of never tasting anything again is horrendous!
My sympathies Peter.

My wife just finished a course of radiation for breast cancer secondaries in her neck/shoulder lymph nodes. She too lost a lot of weight and the burns were horrible. However I think her taste and salivary glands are relatively unscathed.

Best wishes,

Martin
