Sorry to take so long to check back in.    You were right that the effects of radiation hung around for 3-4 weeks after final rads.   Putting the weight back on has been a challenge, though I think that much of it was not drinking any beers.    
Taste is back, saliva is about 80% of the original.    I have to really thank the team at Sylvester Hospital at the University of Miami in Miami.   
Back to playing lacrosse again (started back in April).  The mouth gets a bit dry during games, however just need to keep an extra water bottle on the sidelines.  
Just has my ~1 year PET this past week then went to London for the Olympics (which was fantastic).  Hoping for good news when I meet with my Dr next week (not expecting any bad news as all has gone as planned)  Will keep you all abreast.
Hang in there and I hope/trust that all is good and/or getting better in your worlds.
