Rhett - My husband is in his last week of radiation - in week 2 the mucus started getting bad and his doctor prescribed caphosol. It's a liquid that comes in 2 vials and he mixes them together and swished it around his mouth and gargles. The mucus has been nominal since he started using this. I have the drug fact sheet scanned as well as pics of the medicine. I'll email you the info. Not sure if this is the right stuff if someone has a trach but worth a look into.
