Chetan,
I think I told you that my parotids were spared, it is written into my plan. I had quite a bit of saliva for most of treatment until the last week and then afterwards, it seemed not at all. Anyway it has been scant until last week (not quite 3 months out of treatment)when I was learning to do lymphedema therapy on myself & they directed me how to "decongest" in my mouth. Then I got a bunch of saliva from my parotid. It has been consistent since then. (I just posted about this on another thread) As far as I know what I had was IMRT. They had so many machines, if two were unavailable they still had another to use, so I never missed anything. The technicians would tell me, "same exact machine, same program".

I don't know much about it but I'd say it is not so much dependent upon TOMO but upon whether or not they are able to spare your parotids. Sounds like Don gave you some good advice.
Hope this helps as well.
Anne
