Popster,

Welcome -- I'm glad you were able to find this site. It sounds as though you're doing reasonably well at this point, given the treatment you've had. Post-radiation healing can seem slow at times, but you'll probably start to see some gradual improvement in taste sensations, saliva, and lessening of the throat pain.

Please keep us posted on how you're doing as you continue to recover.

Cathy
