How bad was the side effects of radiation for you? I am a stage 4 cancer survivor (2.5 years of clean scans so far) my cancer was isolated to the tonsil and lymph nodes on my left side of my head and neck and I had surgery, chemo, and radiation. For me the radiation was the worst as it caused loss of taste and swallowing problems.

Do you have to use gelkam fluoride trays or the artificial saliva for your dry mouth?

I use the fluoride trays nightly and occasionally use biotene if I'm having a bad day. I've been lucky enough for bottled water to keep my mouth well moistened. I too had to have a couple suspicious teeth removed so that made my treatment somewhat easier.
