Hi I had a partial  glossectomy and neck dissection. I’m sept ‘25 but luckily didn’t need any radiotherapy or chemo . I’ve had a dry mouth since I’m guessing from some kind of damage to the salivary glands but it seems to have got worse recently. Last night I kept waking up with it and my tongue was so dry it felt cracked to touch. I drink lots of water in the day and have a glass by my bed at night. Anyone else experience this and does it tend to improve  with time? I’ve got my next check up in 2 weeks so will mention it then
