Hello, thank you for the reply. It came as such a surprise because my post was a year ago and my situation has changed so much since then. I am very happy to tell you that I subsequently healed completely, can eat and drink anything now. My tastebuds are probably 90% and I enjoy spicy food more than ever. My salivary functions are not fabulous, but I don't have to carry a water bottle with me literally everywhere anymore. I returned to working full time in a very busy job that I love and in fact was promoted to a higher role only 5 months later. I have no signs of cancer (I alternate between ENT and Oncologist every 8 weeks). I am a very lucky woman and never forget it. Have a great day. Angela
