I'm a Pcar guy myself, but have a place in Myrtle Beach and love Harley week.
I think your situation will improve quickle. I was not able to eat for 7 weeks following my treatment. My treatment finished on Dec 6, 2004. It was Jan 28th, 2005 I was able to get some oatmeal down. I found sweets to really stimulate my taste buds. Oatmeal with a generous helpng of brown sugar slid sown nicely. I gradually improved month by month. Now, after two years, my dry mouth is almost all gone. Just a little in the middle of the night or when eating something that takes a lt of saliva, like bread or cake.
Hang in there, I think things will improve rapidly.
SCC, base of tongue, 2 lymph nodes, stage 3/4. 35 X's IMRT radiation, chemo: Cisplatin x 2, 5FU x2, & Taxol x2. Hooray, after 3 years I'm in still in remission.
