Hey BugZap!      And I thought the Neck Swelling thing was either the too many hours in the Arizona Sun or too many Pabst Blue Ribbons!     Yah, the neck swelling started two months out...after last Rad, but I had already started working in the sun.  I'm doing a better job at covering myself and that seems to stabilize it.    Night dryness is pretty fearsome...but I've found that gargling with baking soda stretches the hours and gives me sleep time.   I think I'm down to one salivary gland...sometimes, when dryness just won't let me rest, i just lick some baking soda (which can cause gastric probs is some people...).       Unfortunately my insurance ran out and I kissed my friendly neighborhood Oncologists goodbye...and will let things take their course until I can get back to work or make it to retirement age in three years.     Otherwise life is good.  Glad to hear yer hanging in there and making the best as can!    Regards,    Joe ...
