Angelia,

Just spent the day with my RO, Dr Trotti at Moffitt where I took my client for his first Moffitt visit. Anyway one thing that Dr T said that may have a bearing on your topic is in his experience the thick mucous stage can last for 6 weeks post Tx and is especially more productive on cancers of the forward part of the OC and especially those involving the forward tongue.
