Hi
I have similar problems. I had my surgery just over a year ago. The tumour was sitting over a salivary duct so they removed that too. Since the surgery I have bilateral blocked salivary glands in my neck and very little saliva in my mouth. My teeth have deteriorated rapidly since then. I also have ongoing problems with ulcerated lips, not sure if you are experiencing the same.
At the moment my mouth is infected and severely ulcerated. I also have several enlarged lymph nodes in my neck, making it hard to swallow. I am having a MRI scan next Saturday at GSTT. I think the cancer has returned.
You can buy artificial saliva spray, but I don’t find it helpful. I am currently controlling the pain with co-codamol and using Daktacort ointment and an aloe Vera gel.
Sorry haven’t been very helpful.
Gill
