Maybe I finally got lucky with everything Ive gone thru. I stopped needing to carry a water bottle at about 6 months post treatment. Now Im 9 months post treatment (from chemo and radiation from my 1st round of OC) and have about 80% saliva without taking meds to stimulate saliva. Everybody is different really is very true when it comes to how people heal from this awful disease.
