Hi Tessa
I'm sure you can see by the responses that you are not alone in this. Many of us have been through many of the same UGLY situations that you are going through. You will have to try some of them and see what works for you. For myself, the dry mouth didn't start for a few months after my radiation treatment ended. After 2 years I didn't have to walk around with a water bottle. I still have to use oral gel at night but overall doing GREAT! I am 6 1/2 years post SCCA right tongue with hemiglossectomy/ neck disection/chemo /brachy therapy/ radiation . I recently had to undergo 40 HBO2 treatments which worked wonderfully. Please stay strong, live strong, and feel free to ask questions. Take care JOHN VOLPE
