Hi Jessica.

Only 12 left!! Awesome - they will (in hindsite) go quickly. Sounds like you are handling it all remarkably well if you are still working - good for you!! You are alot stronger than you thought you were.

With regard to the mucous - this might not work well for you now as your mouth will be full of sores, but as it heals and the mucous is still there, get a water pik and let it clean out your entire mouth a couple of times a day. Lord that does feel wonderful to have a 'NORMAL' mouth even if it is short lived.
But, I stress - not now. When I was at this point of radiation I had many sores in my mouth - even brushing my teeth caused the sores/blisters to break. Be tender - they will heal, but it will take time.

Hugs

Donna
