Xerostomia - its a dry subject to swallow...

Hi all

As I enter my second course of radiation and chemo treatment (original treatment 2017) for throat cancer memories of my previous side effects are being stirred - I'm well into week 2 of 7 and dry mouth is creeping in together with taste changes.

This has prompted me to knock together this short vlog on a HNC patient's best friend - a water bottle. I've also offered my view of a few over the counter treatments. You can find the vlog and some web links to products on YouTube at https://youtu.be/nN3DCka_yno
