Uptown,

Thanks for the info.

I do get an itchy spot on my abdomen after shots there, but have no problems with the shots on the arms and legs yet.

Dr. says they will be hitting all the salivary glands on the right side hard with the location of the tumor so I may loose those. he said I will be getting minimal doses to the left side so I should retain a good deal of functionality on one side.

How is your salivary function now?
