AH, sorry I corrected that, the answer is IMRT. While one oncologist expects no further improvement in salavary function, the other is not so sure.
My dog's vet is sure there will be further improvement. [{:-)
I was very lucky to have a young dentist involved for a while, that treated his mother during and after the same treatment. He prescribed pilocarpine eye drops diluted for oral use, however the pharmacists refused to fill that script. I wound up with overly powerful capsules and am hoping to convince the last remaining oncologist to participate/allow dilution of Biotene liquid with pilocarpine solution this week.
On a rare occasion, the left sub-mandibular will give a little blast, so there is some life there and I hope to excersize that gland every time I lubricate.
New students occasionally run screaming to the administration complaining about me "takin hits off something" in the classroom during lectures. I don't suppose that being lit up on Frappuccino has anything to do with their assumptions??? LOL
I occasionally take pilocarpine before going to bed if I am dry, and sleep in a heavily steamed room to reduce drying out at night. That practice is seriously damaging the house though.
If you would like, I can pass a link to a white paper for the "Oral eye drops" formulation and the jobs saliva does.
But I think you already know, sharp group here and I really wish I had found you a couple of years ago!
