I looked in my med cabinet and it's Guiafenex LA tablets I took. Big suckers, if you have difficulty swallowing. How I got them down during end of radiation, I do not know. At this point, I'd give Salagen a try. I took 3 pills a day.

What I wouldn't have done for a suction machine during radiation. It sure would have beaten pulling the strings out my hand. I was not given one until I had the laryngectomy. Still have riding around in trunk for emergency. I can't imagine why doctors would refuse him one.

Yes, I remember I sent you to my prosthodontist. I hope you liked doc and do hope his dentures fit as well as mine. If you are ever down for an appointment, I work five miles up the street from his office. Give me a call.

Take care,
Eileen
