Hey Chris,
This probably won't answer your question but it's my story and you may glean something from it. I'm 65 and suspect that you are somewhat younger. Best wishes!

Squamous cell carcinoma, primary site, tonsil.
I began looking for sympathy and solutions but it appears that each of us is uniquely different in respect to results of our treatments. Many of you have problems much greater than mine.
I had a radical neck dissection and 35 RT�s, the maximum in this jurisdiction
My wife insists that the issues are all in my mind. Regardless, I have virtually no saliva, taste buds are wacked, teeth are gone, gums won�t properly support dentures, sinuses are chronically infected, lower jaw is dead and won�t support implants.
(My �buds� went south after about 12 exposures.)
I weighed 212 lbs going in. My current weight is 142. I have lived for nearly 12 years on liquid meal supplements and fresh juice, every day. I also take an herbal tea, daily but am unable to identify it due to forum rules. Blood tests indicate no disturbing inequities.
The biggest problems relate to lack of stomach capacity and after 11 plus years of boost, I don�t look forward to the necessary, daily nourishment. Additionally, the buds come and go. Meat is consistently bad while veggies and spices are OK one day and horrid the next. Fortunately, fruits are almost always acceptable. Lack of cleansing saliva doesn�t clear tastes so they tend to �pile on� and confuse the palate. The use of water, wine or other liquids has not been successful in aiding this problem.
Does anyone have experience with psychiatric treatments for similar issues?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
