Lani, I did find the store that has the biotene. The toothpaste was $10.00 a tube. I think I will try the spray soon and the mouthwash. Thanks a lot. Angel

Christine, Yes I have tried the salt and baking soda but stopped it when everything went to sal but I will start it again as I think it did help some with the taste. Thanks, Angel

David, If I tried to swallow something quickly right now I better be standing over something. lol I am very sick at my stomach. My chemo Dr. gave me Emend and that has been great until I got thrush. He also gave me another nausea med but I couldn't take it as it made me highly nervous, so he ordered me another one and medicare wouldn't approve so now he has ordered compazine to take along with the emend and on the days I don't take emend. I pick it up tomorrow and I sure hope it helps. Thanks, Angel

Eileen, I really appreciate you reminding me that the salt and baking soda helps with the mucous. I am having a time with that as well. Expecially after I have slept several hours and wake up I feel like I have been on a desert island without any water for a month. And to come up with enough salava to spit is a trip. Thanks, Angel

AmyK, I am having the same problem with weight. I didn't weigh to much to begin with and I worked hard to gain up to 130 lbs and now I've lost what I gained and then some. My chemo Dr. said to start drinking everything I can and try to drink milkshakes along with the ensure, otherwise we are going to have to look toward the peg tube. But until we get this nausea problem helped some I can't even drink coffee or ensure but I am getting down water and a little ensure but I know that is not enough. One thing about it is that you have to drink water as this treatment makes sure you do. I hope you get to feeling better and put on some weight. Thanks, Angel

Angel,
$10 for the toothpaste is pretty expensive. I've paid anywhere from $5 to $8, and bought it at Wal-Mart, drug stores, and even my grocery store. Word must be getting out because some of the stores I shop at are now carrying more of the Biotene products.

Susan, I found the products at Rite Aid Pharmacy (what used to be Eckerds). They start at $8.99 and go up from there. I will check at our local Walmart. They normally always have the best buys. Thanks, Angel
