Hi Mark! I am so sorry to hear this. Was hoping you were feeling better. I lost my taste buds but with the radiation. It took probably about a month to return to normal. I never really lost my taste buds with the opdivo. Every side effect I dealt with they treated with steroids so I had the opposite problem. I wanted to eat all the time but then if I added pain pills to it I wanted to eat and didn’t at the same time if that makes sense. I know when I couldn’t eat I found instant breakfast or smoothies went down better with a straw. Not sure why but it helped. It may be worth putting out a question to the WhatNext community. Even though they don’t necessarily have melanoma a lot of them have dealt with nausea, loss of taste buds and very similar issues. There might be some people out there with good suggestions. I do know there are some that have done the intravenous feeding. Praying for better days ahead. Sandi
