Red face Re: Question: saliva

Michka, I have the same problem after my chemo. I drink alot of water and it's never enough to quench my thirst. I have asked my onc and family Dr. and they tell me to drink alot of water and take AquaDrops for hydration. They work but it is temporary. They have them in the drugstore. I guess it's something we have to live with. Best Wishes!!! Mary L
