The chemotherapy was for the breast cancer. My oncologist said there was no chemo available for the ACC.

At nearly 6 months from the end of radiation treatment, eating is still difficult. I live primarily on Smoothees, ice cream and Boost. My taste buds have improved, but things still don't taste right. I also have no saliva, as all the remaining salivary glands were killed by radiation.

At this point I figure I'm a member of the "in crowd." These days it seems everyone carries a water bottle everywhere they go, as I do also.
