Hi Patricia,
Glad to hear you're doing better. It really is baby steps

Thanks for the tip on Pilocarpine. I see my MO in two weeks and I'll ask her about it.
What a difference a week makes. A week ago I was still hurting pretty bad. Since then things have improved steadily. I went back to work yesterday part time (4 hrs a day). I have an office/desk job. I'm pretty tired but it felt good to focus on something other than cancer. It's a lot of phone work so dry mouth is an issue. However, with my trusty water bottle I get by

This week I've eaten something by mouth every day. Soup w/noodles, eggs, mashed potatoes, cream of wheat. Very small amounts but it's a start.
Keep the faith Patricia! It will get better!
