An internet friend of mine had roughly the same sort of cancer that I initially had, a tumor on her tongue very similar to mine, and was treated at MDA, with IMRT and the dental stents. She reported very little loss of saliva. http://www.mdanderson.org/departmen...p;pn=dc30f0bf-7545-11d4-aec300508bdcce3a
