Hi Robin - I'm 6 months post radiation and the dry mouth is beginning to get better. Ice water seems to do better than room temp water. I found that excess water consumption also helps with the gunky mucous/sinus that was a problem for a couple of months. It just clears easier from nose and throat when I really push the water.

Tell dad to keep fighting
