Thank you all. We've tried all suggestions except humidifier.
I guess we're worn out and at this point no longer resilient. My husband has always been physically fit, with great stamina. I expected that as horrible as the side effects were, once he started to improve and could swallow, it would go faster than this. But this darn mucus...

RO says this will pass - no abnormalities when scoped. Clean PET @ 8 wks post-tx. Reports sounds good but mucus is becoming debilitating. Lottie
