Dry Mouth - Back with a Vengeance

Still very early days post treatment (end of June 24) for me I know, but until the last week or so I'd found my mouth had really improved and was able to eat and drink almost close to normal - albeit spicy stuff was still very much off the menu.

However, over the past week or so it's like it's gone downhill really badly and mouth is as dry as it was months ago and eating most things is once again becoming a real chore.

Naturally, anxious me tells myself it's a sign that the cancer is on its way back although rational me tells me to remember that we should expect ups and downs as we continue on the road to full recovery.

The oral thrush I was told I had a few weeks ago hasn't really gone away and I'm still trying Nystan and Difflam for that but nothing seems to be improving that.

Guess what I'm asking, is this all still normal and just one of the troughs, hopefully soon to be followed by another peak? Or should I perhaps raise with the GP?
