not sure where i should be posting....
mom has had a fair amount of saliva until the last few days. she has also become extremely thirsty. we have an appt with the dental onc tomorrow, will call on the way in to ro. is this common? i figured that once the brachtherapy was over there might be a change, i wasn't expecting this.
i'm also a little frightened as she only finished out patient radiation a couple of weeks ago and already the tumor is raising.
who am i kidding? i'm scared more than i can say.
hope everyone has had an enjoyable weekend.
thanks as always for your help.
