I'm new here. I finished radiation Rx for my tongue cancer August 2nd and, so far and PET scan, I am free of any cancer. HOWEVER, I cannot get riid and no relief at all from dry mouth and loss of appetite. Pre-cancer and a healthy 71 yaar old retired and married male at 180 pounds I can barely get over 145 pounds. Any 'human food' except soft boiled eggs or high caloric blended drinks has no appeal to me at all after the first lor second bite, yuk! Any help or recommendations. Mu oncologist just says be patient plus we tried something called Pilocarpine 5mg times four a day and nuttin. Help!

Hi my name is Phil. I was diagnosed with tongue cancer at age 77. I also went through radiation and had dry mouth and difficulty eating normal food. This lasted for a year. After four years I could eat normal food but without any spices. My current problem is weakness in my jaw and teeth co can’t eat any crunchy or hard foods. Dry mouth problems were gone in about a year.
