Hi Jackie

Well you have earned a badge for getting through the treatment, it takes some comittment. As you are 2 weeks out the other end things will improve for you each day. Including starting to get your taste back about 6 weeks. Sore mouth and throat will gradually subside, if you have any of the two part mouthwash left over keep using it. Keep your teeth brushed regularly with a soft toothbrush. The thick saliva does hang on though but it does improve a bit. Try drinking soda water or weak black tea to break it up. I still get it 18 months after radotherapy finished. But there are ways to deal with it. The anxiety thing is common to most of us who have cancer, however you mention you are taking morphine, this powerful painkiller can give you anxiety, and you may be focussing on that one issue, namely the thick saliva. The withdrawal symptoms can include intensely itchy skin, restless limbs, and feeling like you are coming down with flu, aches pains snuffy nose etc. you might feel a bit sick too but it lasts only a few days. Hoping you make a good recovery there are great days ahead for you. Kim
