Now starts the post treatment fun. I had the mucous (the thick ropey stuff and yuck in the throat and sinuses) from about the 5th week of treatment until about two weeks post treatment. Puffs w/lotion were good friends of mine during that time.
Dry mouth was and still is an issue. It was a little worse just post treatment but has begun to improve slightly 6 weeks post treatment.
Fatigue is still my biggest challenge and issues with sleeping compound that. I started taking a Benedryl before bed and that has helped a bit although I'm still up several times a night for bathroom breaks and dry mouth.
Keep up the good work with the side effects symptoms and continue to hydrate and eat as you've been doing and you'll get through this with flying colors as you did the treatment!
