Glad to hear your father is doing well. The radiation did not damage my salivary glands, but I've heard that that is a common side effect. All of the reading I've done indicate that nothing can be done to reverse it. You might try the head & neck cancer list at www.acor.org. There are a lot of people there who might be able to give better advice.
