@dragonfire I'm a tongue cancer survivor. I used Xylimelts mints available at Wal-Mart and Amazon. They stick to your upper gum and trigger saliva. They'll stay on while you sleep and keep your mouth moist. Some folks wear them during waking hours, too.
Ask your oncologist for the pain relieving mouthwash or magic mouthwash they called it. No reason to be in pain!

I will look for them on my next trip to Walmart. I use the Bioten spray now with limited results. I do not not adjust to change well and just joining this support group was a huge change for me. I have the mouth magic but limited success with that. I never expected being a non-smoker to ever deal with mouth cancer. Dealing with this each day has really impacted me. I am glad I can still work to escape for a few hours focusing on work and not my condition.
