congrats on the all clear. I am still going through radiation, and i only have 12 treatments left, and that thick nasty saliva i just cant seem to get rid off. Kinda wishing I had the dry mouth people talk of instead of thick saliva, but oh well. Hope that soon yours will tame down and eating will get easier for you. I know that before i started radiation, about 2 months after my surgery i could eat everything except for bread and peanut butter, so sadly, i had to stay away from those cuz they always got stuck to the roof of my mouth.
But good luck, and sooner then you know it, things will get easier,
