[cancercured] Delayed Death of Salivary Glands?

It appears I may be the victim of yet another lying radiologist. One
of my MOST IMPORTANT criteria for agreeing to low-grade radiation
treatment was that it would NOT affect my salivary glands. I must
have discussed that concern with the radiologist 10 times before and
during the treatments.

The radiation was done in September of 2006, I think, and I am only
just now experiencing serious dry mouth. When I wake up at night and
in the morning, there is practically no saliva in my mouth. And there
is very significant dryness during the day, as well.

Does anyone think I might have a case against this radiologist for
damaging my salivary glands after assuring me they would not be
injured? I am amazed and disgusted that damage has occurred,
apparently, after this radiologist, who is the head of radiology at
the hospital where I had the treatments done, and who has been doing
radilogy for decades, assured me there would be no damage.

Thanks for any answers.

Elliot
