Since completing radiation and chemo treatments late October for SQC stage 4 at the base of my tongue, I have foune the sticky saliva problem has greatly improved, but still find myself spitting that sticky saliva every 30 minutes or more. Some blood is still present in the saliva as well. I would like to know what others experience has been with similar cancer and how long before it goes away. I can eat real food, but it still must be the mushy stuff as it is still difficult to swallow. Your comments are appreciated. Happy Christmas to all.
