So the OTC Biotene helps quite a bit for the dry mouth and also throat after you spit out
the initial tablespoon full and saliva production increases. Probably going to ask for some of the RX magic mouthwash today though , a lot of sores are popping up.
Back on chemo yesterday at 1/2 dose cesplatin. Down from 74mg to 37mg.
Snow day Monday so only 4 days radiation this week. #18 today. Hanging in there so far.

@woodsy1 I finished my 18th radiation out of 30 as well. Food tastes horrible in my 4th week, now I've lost about 2lbs, nothing drastic yet but need more options
