Hi Bob, All this talk of beer and BBQ has got me thinking summer! (not easy when there is ice on the big lake) By the way Guiness goes with anything! The old ads for guiness used to say "Guiness gives you strength" so it might be a candidate for O.C. official beverage. laugh

The floride treatment stuff I have is: Colgate Gel-Kam .4% Stannous Fluoride It is a gell that is applied with a tooth brush by dabbing (not brushing) then leaving on for 1 minute. I do this maybe once a month. It is a little harsh on gum tissues if you have very little saliva. I was able to get the product at a larger drug store. I believe there were other brands as well (I don't have their names)

I also have 3 month visits to the dentist for cleaning and checkup. (I think that we should all do this!) I really value the fact that I still have my teeth since chewing is difficult enough with low saliva and lowered tongue mobility.

Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
