John is 20 months out of treatments and thank God cancer free and doing great! His taste is completely back but he can live with that. What bothers him the most is the constant, chronic dry mouth. Just wondering if anyone has tried accupuncture and had success. I have a friend who goes for accupuncture treatments for a back issue. The guy who does it is from China and she swears by him. Happy New Year to everyone!
