I've had chemo twice now and have had 5 different chemo drugs. Some side effects resolve quicker than others and some may lessen over time, but still remain to a certain degree. About 4 weeks or so after I finished chemo my sense of taste returned which was the quickest side effect to resolve itself. Both times I had chemo iit took about a year to bounce back as far as I was going to and I learned what my post chemo new normal was going to be. For me after every chemo, radiation, surgery, etc. my new normal is always less than my prior normal was before the latest treatment. I've learned that my best odds of returning as close as possible to where I was before is to be as active as I can possibly be based on whatever treatment I most recently endured and what I can physically do without overdoing things and delaying my healing process. Be patient and give yourself grace. Your body has been through a lot and it takes time to recover, but you will get there eventually ❤️

Yes, some of those side effects take a while to resolve- treatment takes a lot from us physically and emotionally- give yourself grace, and support your body with healthy choices, do things that make you smile, and bring inner calm. The drugs are powerful. and take a long while for our bodies to turn over enough generation of cells that they are free of the effects. Taste buds have a quick turnover, that's why taste is one of the first significant signs that your body is getting itself back on track. I just had to remind myself to let my body heal on its own timetable- as rosegardengal said, you will get there eventually! Hugs!
