Something I've found out, chicken seems awfully dry, even in soup. However, duck or goose has higher oil content in the meat, so even well done these birds aren't as dry to eat.

Was at a company Christmas dinner about 2 weeks after finishing RT, just starting to eat solids well but still dealing with dry mouth. Don't remember what it was on my plate but it was something not healthy and high cholesteral, but edible and moist. Person next to me asked if I don't get worried about my cholesterol level. I just looked at them like they had grown a second head, and they replied, "guess not at this point, cholesterol would be the least of your worries"

One other thing I'm going to jump in here with. The literature for cancer patients at the hospital, and also my oncologist mentioned that having a glass, pint or can or bottle, of Guiness occasionaly (no you cant drink a six pack a night) with meals helps stimulate saliva and the Guiness also has some useful nutrients in it. I don't think that solution would be good for everybody, but has anyone else heard this?
