My mother just began chemotherapy for ovarian cancer.  She had been experiencing extreme dry mouth for a few months before her treatment began, but has been suffering from it more lately.  She does not have any mouth sores at this time and no food/smell aversions.  Her oncologist keeps telling her to drink water, but is there anything else that others have found to help?  Thanks.

I haven't had personal experience with this, so you may want to run it by her oncologist first, but have you tried Biotene products?  I know they have mouth gel, mouth waste and toothpastes that are specifically made to aid in dry mouth.  Hope that helps!
