Thank you so much for these two posts. I will definitely try the gargling. I have been told by my oncologist that this type of cancer causes an Inflamatory reaction to the mucosa linings around the body. As a result, my mouth is very bad. I really appreciate any ideas as it has been a couple of weeks since I had the tumour removed and I have had no improvement in any if the side effects if it. If I could just get the mucositis to abate, that would make so many things better. Cheers
