Dan is now 9 weeks post-treatment and doing great in almost all recovery areas. The dry-mouth is of course an issue, but we assume will be forever. The main symptom now is his tounge. He said anything that is the least bit hard hurts it - his examples were chips, little debbie oatmal pie... He wanted me to see if you guys had this issue and how long it lasted.

THANKS!!!
