Xerostomia = dryness of the mouth. What can I expect? For me dryness means I am only eating soups and other "wet foods."

You might want to provide a little more information in order to get some helpful answers to your question. Things like what your treatment consisted of and how far out from treatment you are would be good to know.

Best,

What kind of radiation you had can make a big difference as well.

It depends on how you responded to therapy. Did you get the ethiol (sp) shots. they are supposed to help but a lot of peolple cannot tolerate.

Whre wass your cancer? Also, come the end of january there are some new products called Numoisyn that will help. I have tried and they have helped me.
