Nothing gross about it. Coop. Going in, I told the rad people to do their best, and all I wanted when it was finished was to be able to spit. Strangely, the side which received the most rad, where they told me I would lose the salivary glads, is now back on line. I am 3-1/2 years out and the saliva function just keeps increasing to where I must be 95% of normal. Hang in there!
