Hi, I am writing this for my Dad who had SCC on his tongue stage 2 with a neck dissection and they removed 18 lympth nodes and found 1 positive approx 3 years ago. He also had 6 weeks of IMRT (I think this was the name of it) radiation.

He lost his salivary glands completely due to the radiation. My questions is has anyone experienced a very salty mouth after having similar cancer and/or treatment?

Also, does anyone have any advice as to what else he could try for the VERY DRY mouth he has constantly besides the ones that have not worked for him previously, ie: Biotene, Moisture Mists etc.

Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated.
