Hi Gary. Ron had a bilaterial neck done last August, and 37 rounds of radiation which he finished last mid November. We just returned for the ER. He can't clear the mucous; they say he has forgotten how to cough and speech therapy will have to retrain him. Meanwhile they sent us home with a nebulizer and suction machine. They showed me how to go through his nose and down into his throat to try to suction the mucous out. Man, something about all this doesn't seem right. His pain returned again tonight. He's on liquid morphine tonight. No more patches for him.
