Can they be saved?

I have a stink bug infestation. I usually use a spray bottle with 3 drops of soap. But it wasn't working. I went onto a different site and it said the only way to get rid of a bad infestation is to use 3/4c. Soap. So I did. It has killed quite a few of my branches, but the major stems are only a little brown. The tomatoes are still growing. I rinsed the soap off 24 hrs later, but I'm afraid it's just too late. Is there anything else I can do to help them revive? And to make matters worse- still have tons of stink bugs!

I think we already responded to this question here: https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/vi ... 85#p364085

If you have follow up questions, it would be better to post them in the original thread...

The Stinkbugs notwithstanding, your tomatoes "might" recover & start some new growth in time to give you some fruit (depending on where you're located).
