After Treatment Issues - immediate post treatment Jump to new posts
A game changer for dry mouth MaineWill 12-17-2024 03:39 AM
14 years post treatment and very grateful to be cancer free I do struggle with some post radiation issues. Dry mouth was low on the list until recently. Not sure why but it got bad recently during sleep. Like waking up 100% dry. Very bad for teeth. I came across a product designed for snoring and (even though I don't snore) I decided to try it. It has helped me SO much. It's a special kind of tape called Adellina Premium Tape. Like $17 on Amazon for 30 patches. Right before bed I just peel a piece off and put it on my closed mouth. I can't even tell it's there and I sleep all night breathing through my nose. Zero dry mouth. In the morning it comes off with no pain or even discomfort. I hope this helps someone. The OCF saved my life 14 years ago.

Peace

Re: Gum biopsy Joanne T 12-15-2024 01:32 PM
Hi, for what it's worth, my husband also had a missed diagnosis although the time frame was a tad shorter - 18 months. He was diagnosed three weeks go and went through CT scans and a PET scan and no spread of the cancer. Point being, don't despair - every case is different and it may still be local. Either way, please get the biopsy and necessary treatment asap because knowing is better than not knowing. Getting treatment started soon is the most important thing!
