Hello again:

Just want to share some info. Spoke to my husband's oncologist today. Actually, he called me after asking for a prescription for Salagen. We decided on Salagen because there is a generic for this drug and much less costly for us than the Evoxac.

Anyway, he (the oncologist)called to tell me about something new on the market called Caphosol. It is intended as a mouth wash and suppose to loosen tough mucus & prevents mucous membranes from sticking together. I looked it up on the net and it is manufactured by a company called Cytogen. It is sold by the box (one box contains 30 doses). It is expensive through the pharmacy but we are going to get it through our mail order company and will try just one box to see if it helps. If it seems to help, we will order more. Worth the try and I just wanted to share this bit of information with all of you. Once my husband starts using it, I will let you know if it helps in any way.
