I lost interest too . . . but that is because everything tasted like paper. But I ate anyway and oddly there were periodic flashes of flavor. It became a food lottery, as it were.

He has to eat, though. Find anything. But he just needs to eat.

As for the saliva, it goes during treatment. For me, it was an ever-present bottle of water and Salagen. I don't have the water bottle, but I still take the salagen. I hope that when the slagen ends, I will be reaonably functional in that area. It is getting better, though!

Others will be able to point to other products and strategies for both problems.

My best to you and your brother.
