Cheryl, I would choke so bad that I would also vomit. I would not be able to breath and I would run to my parents appartment downstairs. Yes, my parents live in my downstairs appartment. Thank god because I seriously don't know what I would have done if they werent here. I really thought I was not going to catch my breath and I didn't want to be alone. Mussinex and hot tea with honey helped me a great deal. I woke up at all hours of the night for at leaast two months after radiation. Best advice I can give is Mussinex every 12 hours and when the choking starts, hot tea with honey....It really works!!!!!. Best of luck Cheryl.
