I just finished treatment(chemo-rad) and the thick spit thing is starting up on me. Nothing really painful or a problem, I'd classify as annoying in having to always consciously think about where to spit out that wad of spit somewhere.
I always have seen dry mouth referenced much earlier in treatment. As I am just entering post-tx, I want to have my current list of "symptoms" to be looking out for.
