Last night, toward early morn, I did feel a slight abatement in the secretions, both in texture and amount, and woke with a slightly drier mouth. I jumped out of bed, quite happy for the small step. I just have to let the demon thoughts go, like I am dying, I am not getting better because the cancer is still here. Let those thoughts go. Patience. I just started week three of recovery. Some of you and the docs say this week could bring noticeable improvement. Patience! -Michelle
