Hi Walking 2032,
A very warm welcome to our forum.
I am sorry to hear about your salty mouth following chemotherapy. Have you spoken to your care team about this? They may be able to offer some suggestions, as I'm sure that you're not the only person to experience this. I had 2 bouts of breast cancer 14years ago. I didn't have chemo, but I did have a very dry mouth and still have. I use Salvix pastilles and Glandosane spray to help with this. I'm not sure whether or not this might help you. It would be best to discuss these first with your breast care nurse or chemo team. You might get more people, who have experience of this, replying, if you ask the moderators to change your title to "Side effects of Chemo."
I hope that you can get some useful advice soon.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.
Kind regards,
Jolamine xx
