Glad to hear that all has been well in these past years for you, with the exception of dry mouth. Cancer, I'm learning, is quite unfair to us head and neck cancer patients. I am currently in radiation and I'm still adjusting to the fact that my new normal in life will include a LOT more work on my part in the dental arena and that dry mouth will also be a part of my life forever. And a speech impediment, even if it's slight. Here's to hoping for more clear scans from here to eternity for you! smile
