Hi,
Just three weeks out of treatment and my mouth is so dry that if someone offered me a million dollars to spit I would not be able to!! I have found some very good advice here. It is so nice to know that I am not alone in this venture. I guess a dry mouth is a small price to pay if the cancer is under control. Thanks for the heads up on the Biotene, I have adentis appointment on Wednesday and wil ask him more about it. If there is anything out there to help I am up for it. I had the IMRT radiation treatment and my Doctor felt that my salivary glands should be spared on one side of my mouth and I am glad to know it will take more time than three weeks for this to happen. The one thing that dives me crazy is the dry throat and the coughing at night it is like someone is torturing me with a feather, is there a cough rememdy any of you might know of? or will a mouth rinse help solve that problem.
Thanks for your help.
Pat
