Its going on two and a half years since i had 35 radiation treatments in 3 different areas of my neck both sides as well as the front. I had the heavy Chemo,and adiession of the left side of my neck, Earlier right after my surgery i was fed thru a port in my chest, then slowly i was able to eat small amounts of puried food.As time goes on I am able to eat more food but need to wash everything down with hot tea, or coffee,also bottled water helps. Ihave no saliva at all and my mouth is as dry as a desert. I carry bottled water with me, and try to just sip it slightly, because I found drinking to much water fills me up and I have no appitite for food. I at times carry a small spray bottle with water to help the dryness,I have tried all the commercial produts, but find they really dont help. I still have a lot of flem and Im constantly gargleing and rinseing my mouth.I will continue to try out new metholds as well as any new products that go on the market. If I find anything that helps I will posted it on the site. JOE
