So sorry to hear that Angela so long after transplant, you must be devastated. You don't say how old you are and whether you'll be able to go for second transplant? My husband has also relapsed recently only 4 months after transplant for aml, he's 62 and had reduced intensity chemo prior to transplant. He's having…

Thank you both for your reassurance and help, my husband isn't one for forums or asking for help, he's doing OK really but food is a huge issue right now, also he has to drink more and is struggling with that too. So any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

From reading these posts I'm thinking that the donor cells have a lasting impact on taste changes that occur?......this is very strange!!....is it likely to be more than coincidence?

Hi, can you tell me if the taste changes that occur after stem cell transplant are permanent? Is it different from the taste changes that occur after chemo, that soon improves ? My husband has had HSCT 11Feb 2015 and is really struggling with taste and texture issues.
