Hey Everyone, I have not posted in a long while. I finished treatment May 11th and have been continuing to do really well although I did not escape w/o some lingering "issues". Two weeks after I finished treatment, the dry mouth reared it's ugly head. This was after enduring the hyper salivation during treatment that would wake me up at night choking and coughing. I now have xylitol gum and a water bottle in my hand 24/7. Hoping that eventually the dry mouth will subside some. I have hated to post with such benign issues as I know so many here have suffered so much more than I have during this ordeal. I am scheduled for my first PET/CT August 11th. I have been scoped by my RO and my ENT. Both said they were thrilled and saw NED except for some very minimal swelling of my esophagus. They were amazed that I actually gained weight during treatment and I am now on a walking regimen to lose weight. I realize how lucky I was to have found it so early and that the larynx is much easier to endure treatment b/c my mouth was not affected by treatment. I am almost 5 months w/o smoking now after 40+ years. Not easy but the walking helps. My ENT says if I never smoke again, there is a good chance I may not have a recurrence which is what I am hoping for. I admire so many on this forum for what they have endured and how they continue to help others. The internet is a wonderful communication venue.
