I have not yet been thru it but have been grabbing info as I can on surgery and radiation etc. as it sounds like radiation will follow my surgery next week - but I read about something called RADIOPROTECTORS which protect salivary glands during radiation. Does anyone know if these work as reported? This may be something you wish to discuss with your doctor prior to starting treatment so if they can help you can benefit from them. Best wishes.
