I'm coming up on a year as a colostomate, no significant problems.
My mottos were always "I like my food hotter than the hinges of hell" and "If you aren't blowing sparks the next morning, it wasn't hot enough last night."
Chemo in '96 for lymphoma made my tongue too sensitive for Taco Bell mild sauce. You know that was torture! I eventually grew out of that and my new-found curly hair.
I had chemo for ovarian cancer and acquired curly hair, a sensitive tongue, and a stoma this time. My tongue is making a slow comeback.
As I'm able to eat hotter and hotter foods, I notice I've lost the 'revenge' component of the aftereffects. That's certainly a bonus!
