It is hard to believe, but it is now a year since I finished treatment. I have very few issues, Mouth somewhat dry, just to the point I need a drink with every bite to swallow. Jaw still limited in opening. My beard is ver thin on the side that got the most radiation, so it is now a goatee instead of a full beard. My teeth are sensitive and I cannot taste sweetness.

But I am alive and well.
