Gary,

Welcome ....You will find this site a great source of information and support. I had cancer of the lateral tongue and didn'y do chemo or rad so I can't answer alot of those questions. I did lose my one salivary gland and I can say that Biotene is a GREAT product though !!

A large part of dealing and making it through is attitude ..But you seem to have a good spirit about you .

As far as you and Amy go with the southern BBQ's I have some friends here in Upstate NY opening a "roadhouse" ( bbq) in Dec so If you all have any good recipes or menu suggestions let me know!! Cus I am sure we don't do it like the south does !
