Is drooling a side effect? I have never been a drooler! NOw I wake up with slobber running down the side of my face. Even when I am a wake I find that I need to wipe the sides of my mouth?

    LOL, I have that on
    LOL, I have that on occassion, but I had it before I even had any Radiation treatments. So, I don't know what it comes from. I haven't "drooled" lately though.

    Arf! Arf!
    I dunno what to tell you. I Googled "Is Drooling a Chemotherapy Side-effect" and all the sites it took me to were related to Canine Cancers!

    I say don't worry about it unless you start going in circles tying to bite your backside, or chasing neighborhood cats up trees! Even then, I'm not sure if you should call the oncologist, psychiatrist or veterinarian!


    Keep us posted!

    Hugs,
