Thanks for all of your quick posts for a friend. I think I will try sleeping in the recliner, doing the robitussin, and increasing my fluids as much as possible. There is also this product that my MO recommended that helps clear mucous from the mouth...Alkolol...it's OTC, and at first I flat out refused to use it based on the ingredient list, but when I finally tried it, it found that it wasn't so bad and actually worked.

Thanks so much. I'm so so very looking to this phase passing and then, of course, to be cancer-free.

Too much to ask wink.
