Charm,
Thanks for your suggestions. I will try the suggested posting in general or survivor forums. Still need a forum roadmap to find my way around. The article I found when first exploring the website is found under "dental complications". Scroll down several paragraphs to the highlighted "saliva", click on the word and it will take you a longer article on "Wonders of Saliva".Within the article, almost at the end, I read a quote from the NIDCR institute director ,Larry Tabak, stating that "gene therapy is years away". Ironically, I am working with a gene therapy study supported by Larry Tabak. Thought the information in the article was older and could be updated. I really like how the rest of the article is written in a humorous and uplifting style while being very informative.Please let me know if you need information for the update. Also, sorry to hear about your recurrence.
Thanks.
Linda
