Welcome to this site and I'm sure you will find it most helpful. It would be helpful if you give us some details of your surgery and radiation treatment but even without the surgery and assuming you received the same radiation treatment most of us got you can expect your dry mouth condition, common to us all, to slowly get better over the next year plus. I was 16 months post Tx before I was satisfied with my improvements and thankfully so because it hasn't seemed to improve since then.
