Hi Delly. The woman who is helping your father sounds promising but I really think you need more help. My dentist told me that botox injections in some saliva glands can reduce excess saliva. I have no idea if that is relevant but I just want to help. I just wish a social worker or cancer nurse or what we call a district nurse could come and check your dad frequently.

Best wishes!
