Xylimelts

Hi Hattie 

I can not comment on clients but have purchased some for my hubby for later on recommendations from those in this he. I promise you , you will get replies soon. 

My hubby is base of tongue with 1 affected lymph. T2 N1 M0.

His RIG is being fitted Monday and treatment starts Wednesday 6 x chemo , 30 x radio for 6 weeks.

Welcome

Hi Lisa,

Thank you, yes fingers crossed they are good.

Mine was T1, NO, MO but they do a lower dose/sterilisation radiotherapy on lymph nodes anyway like a belt & braces thing apparently.

Hope all goes well with your hubby.   X

Wow totally impressed with speed of Tx

Soda bic and salt i found helpful 

xylimelts need a little Saliva to work but sticking the tablet to your gum then taking a tiny sip of water to wet it often gets it going. I like both flavours 

Thank you.  Yes I think I'll try soda bic too.  Did you just rinse mouth or gargle? X

Hi 

i only use the mint free ones as it was early days when I first started using them and my mouth was pretty delicate so avoided mint. Re bi carb n salt mix or baking powder I’ve used both please just gargle as to swallow it is pretty revolting. 

I am niw 18 month post treatment for tonsil cancer and still use 1/2 a xyimelts every night they are a godsend to me anyway I now get 8 hours sleep with a few sips of water in night don't even wake up properly as my fit but doesn’t show awake time if that makes sense 

good luck
