Hi Denise,

I'm starting Week 2 of radiation tomorrow. I'm already finding that my saliva consistency is changing. I was expecting the dry mouth but instead my saliva is thick and it feels as if my tongue is swelling more! I thought my tongue was supposed to shrink?!
I'm bummed as I've been eating all foods orally for a few weeks now. I did have the PEG tube inserted at surgery back in Feb. and I'm going to have to start using that more now. I feel as if I'm going 2 steps forward, one step back. However, that's what oncology is all about, yes?

You sound very positive- good for you!!
