Greeting's Tom,

I wish you nothing but the best in your treatment. If you read some of the older post's you will learn just about everything you need to know. Every person reacts differentely to the same treatment.
I han IMRT radiation and still have saliva. IMRT is not for everybody and only your Doctors can tell you what type is best for your case.
As Joanna has said, Ask any question you can think of about your diaease and usually someone has experienced it. You have found a website that has a very loyal following and we support each other all the time. It is a forum like no other.

I wish you the best as you enter your treatment phase.

Dan Bogan
