Welcome to OCF. Here you will find many answers to questions you may have.
I am guessing you are waiting for a 6 month MRI scan. I hope all will turn out OK for you. We are always a little nervous for the first few scans.
Oh yes the dreaded Dry Mouth. We all share in that one. I use a product called Oral Balance it is by Biotene. I have it in a gel and a liquid. It helps with the dry mouth. I am 1 year out from treatment and still have problems with dry mouth. I do have some saliva, but wish I had more. I keep waiting for more changes every month.
Hope all will continue to improve for you, it is a long journey for us all.
Take care,
Diane
