Clark get a runny nose after he eats and that is because part of his soft palate was removed in the original Ca surgery. If he swallows a large mouthfull, he can almost guarantee some will come out of his nose. As for the drooling, he also has to keep tissues nearby for that, too. His lips don't completely close so there is always some leakage.

I guess Drs. and other healthcare providers can't tell us EVERYTHING that may happen as we are all different and will respond to treatment differently. So, once again, this forum is the best place to get the inside scoop on OC and its after effects!

Thanks again, Brian Hill!
