While perusing my radiation packet a few months ago, I saw that a likely side effect of treating the mouth was “thick, ropy saliva.” As with so many other things I read or was told before I began treatment, I laughed (among them, my surgeon warning me that I would probably lose 15-20 lbs.). But here I am in my last week of radiation, with saliva so thick and ropy you could use it to rig a ship. Seeing is believing.
Well, then
