Good Morning Gary and Cathy, Thanks so much for your replies. In response to Gary, I had IMRT and my treatment ended in Feb of 2005. I, too suffer from bouts of thrush every couple of weeks. Cathy, I have not tried any medication for the dry mouth, but am wondering how the salagen works. Someone told me the side effects are not worth taking it. What is your opinion on that.

On another note, I wish I would have discovered this website while I was undergoing treatment. It would have been great if my primary caregivers (my husband, sister and stepmom) could have utilized all of this useful information and support. I have spent the last couple of days on this website and have found so much useful information, and I am so grateful to have come across it. Thank you so much!!
