Aww you are a supper guy I can tell you that you are surrounded by love. I asked my step brother who did some work along side cancer radiation teams and he said that the saliva drug is controversial because it can cause faster rates of cellular reproduction. I have not researched this much myself but I know that it can also cause dizziness, sweats and vomiting, what I am more concerned about would be any interactions with cancer cells. Maybe someone in our OCF would be able to answer these questions in a more informed maner.

You did everything exactly how you should have under the care of very knowledgable proffesional and you can be sure that you are going to get the best treatments and outcomes again. I wasted a couple of weeks torturing myself and have accepted that I did and my husband is still doing everything in his power to be back to living again. Go forward and be focused in the challenge in front of you, trust in your gut and do not be shy to ask ask ask!

Much love, Sophie
