Hi

2 issues not related.

I am 3 .5 years clear from an original diagnosis of stage 4  tonsil, neck lymph node and a spread to the hip. I had chemo and radiotherapy. I have a very dry mouth for which I chen gum all day but at night I have real problems. I use a variety of gels and sprays I also use micropore tape to tape my lips together which is strange but helps. However, I have to get up 3 or 4 times a night minimum to swill my mouth out and reapply as I find the gels, sprays either create a horrible gunk in my mouth or dry out. This is exhausting and I'm often really tired by the morning. Any advice, suggestions will be gratefully received.

The 2nd issue is, have you any suggestions for a 50+ or more sun protection? The skin on my face is suffering I don't think this is related to my treatment but obviously I don't want to do damage to my neck. Again any help appreciated.
