Margaret and Jeff, Thanks for your responses and suggestions. Jeff you are amazing...being able to eat regular foods like that already! Way to go! Margaret, my taste buds are pretty much back to normal and the fatigue went away at about 3 1/2-4 months. I hope your husband gets better with each passing day. Good luck to you both. Oh, by the way, is Evocax a prescribed salivary stimulator like Salagen? I have a prescription for Salagen but haven't had it filled yet.

Nine years out. New normal with limitations, but surviving and living life to the fullest.
