Hi, I have been cancer "free" for 3 years since a 90% glossectomy. My lower teeth were removed when they split my jaw. I still have a peg and a suction machine which I still use. I have drooling problems and then dry mouth at night but the mucus issue is slowly improving and I am better able to spit it out but this took awhile.. I am now trying to drink liquids other than water but I have to use a spoon and stand up and I am eating puddings, jello, soup, oatmeal and coffee and ice cream. I can eat applesauce but it has to be followed by water due to the thickness. I highly recommend the mucus machine. For 2 years I would not go anywhere for long or overnight without the machine. I literally took it with me, tubes and all. I just caught myself yesterday not having to use it for several days. Good luck.
