Hi Everyone:
Haven't been on for awhile as we've been very involved with my son's baseball league. It now been 32 days from my last radiation treatment. Have done very well grin. Although life has changed, I'm feeling part of the world again.

I don't have an arid mouth as most people have after treatment, and for that I'm very thankful. I only experience that dry of a mouth occasionally, but the type of saliva must have changed as now foods, such as bread, etc, stick to my teeth. Drinking liquid with my meal doesn't help. I ate an Oriole cookie last night, and it must have taken 20 minutes to get rid of all stuff sticking to my teeth.

Anyone have any suggestions.
