As you can see by the fact that your post and thread have been 'hijacked' the introduce yourself forum is not optimal for you.
I wish to welcome you to the OCF forum, but suggest that you post your thread again in the general forum or the survivor forum. Not very many of us active posters have been free from Cancer for over 5 years.
I would love to have qualified for your study but alas, I do not meet the criteria with a recurrence of cancer as late as February 2009.
Please post a direct request for people over 5 years out on the general forum with a link to your NIH study. Although it is depressing to think that people would still have a saliva issue or dry mouth 5 years after being Cancer free. My dry mouth disappeared entirely once I could not swallow after surgery. I have more than enough saliva and mucous.
Also what updating would you suggest to the Wonders of Saliva article? I did not find it on the web site, so if you could post a link along with your suggestions as what needs to be updated, I would certainly be interested and follow thru with the site administrators (like DavidCPA, Gary and the founder Brian). It is important to me that OCF always be the most current source of oral cancer information.
