My 7 weeks of radiation and Chemo ended June 9th. Like you I had excessive amounts of Saliva- I couldn't sleep in Bed- I slept in the recliner getting 2-3 hours of sleep at a time. I keep kleenex and or paper towels to spit into. I ended up in the hospital with fever and mouth sores 1 1/2 weeks after my treatment ended. bringing the pain to a level I had yet to experience.
The hospital was my rock bottom. Things have been improving steadily since. July 2nd was the first time I have slept in my bed. July 8th I had a scrambled egg for breakfast- It took some work to get it down, but tasted good. July 8th I had a small plate of fettuccine alfredo. Things are finally improving. I still need the kleenex, but Nights are much better
