Congrats on finishing your treatments!!!!

I hope Im wrong, but its a little early to be feeling better. The radiation is still working so dont be surprised if you have a few rough weeks.

The thick ropey mucous is temporary, it will hang around for a couple weeks. Usually between 3-6 weeks post rads it will suddenly end and dry mouth will take its place. Sleep with a humidifier, use a waterpik on its lowest setting with a mixture of warm water and mild mouthwash. Rinse your mouth several times per day with a mixture containing 16 oz of warm water, 1 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp salt. If the salt burns, cut it back or omit it but try your best to have some salt in there as it will help with healing. When you see your doctors, ask the nurse to suction out the mucous. You can also get a portable suction machine to use at home with a prescription from your doc. Its available at a medical supply company.

Keep focusing on your intake. Every single day until you hit your one year mark post rads you need to watch your intake. This is what will help you get thru things easier. Every single day take in at the very least 2500 calories and 48-64 oz of water. Adding high protein whey powder also will help with your recovery, but ask your doc first.

Best wishes!!!
