Thanks for the info about the show, Eric. If I had high-speed internet access I would watch it.

As for drooling, that was the first sign that my cancer had recurred - along with "fat tongue".[/quote]

How is drooling caused by or related to your cancer recurrance? I am curious as to why that might be a symptom. Don't you have dry mouth? I understand drooling as a result of surgery as Eric described.

I stopped taking an anti-depressant in 2007 that caused dry mouth, and I started to drool at night for the first time in my life. I attributed it to the discontinuance of the drug. I went back on the AD in Oct. when I was diagnosed, and now notice I still occaisionally drool. Did anyone else have an issue with drooling pre-Tx?
