My husband is 4 months post treatment for base of tongue cancer. 1 month post treatment he started Evocax to stimulate more saliva. It's not the ideal solution for everyone, however, it's been great for him!

He started with 3x per day and now is down to 2. A common side effect is sweating. With the 2/day, he doesn't have any issues with sweating and his RO and MO are both impressed with his saliva. It took about a week or two to get into his system. And, he takes it the same time every day.

He can eat anything and he no longer has to swallow water with each bite. I wouldn't say his saliva is back to normal, although near normal is probably right.

Right now, his frustration is his taste buds. Nothing tastes like it should.

x28007 and Jeff, at 5+ months how are your taste buds doing?

And, fatigue. He is back to work part time, but needs far more hours of sleep than he ever did. Most days he retires to rest or sleep after dinner. He just had his thyroid tested and all is fine there.

Are you two still dealing with fatigue as well?
