Thanks for this info. I had surgery in Toronto because they don't have those specialists in Thunder Bay but radiation will be at home in Thunder Bay at our Cancer Clinic. I will ask them about the magic mouthwash when I am there next week for follow up appointments. I will check with them and my RO here and my dentist here about fluoride trays instead of using a toothbrush too, I have seen that mentioned in some of my reading. I don't think I'm healed up enough from surgery to have any trays made yet.

PMH did mention the Lodge to us, but we have some good friends that live in downtown TO even a few blocks closer to the hospital then the Lodge, and my partner was able to stay with them when we were in Toronto for two weeks for my surgery. Well - except she slept at the hospital the first 5 nights until they changed the trach and capped it!

Thanks lots for this info,

Mary
