Thanks for coming back to give us an update! Its great news to see you are so active at one year post rads and chemo. You must be doing very well to be able to travel so extensively for work. I always love to see patients who have been thru this come back and post updates. It gives those just starting out hope they too can get thru it. I know its not easy but it sounds to me like you were motivated and pushed your self with your intake. Thats what helped get you thru it easier than many others.
Hang in there with the dry mouth. It does improve slightly here and there right up until around the 2 year mark. A few patients mentioned their dry mouth got better even 2.5 years post rads so you still should see some improvement with it.
Best wishes for many, many more happy and healthy anniversaries ahead.
