In March of 2006 my husband began treatment for cancer of the larynx. He had radiation and chemo (Cisplatin)and finished treatment early July. The good news is the tumor which was wrapped around his left vocal chord is gone, but he had to have a feeding tube inserted early in the treatment process since he was unable to swallow or eat. It has been 6 months since treatments ended, but he still cannot swallow anything but a few sips of water. He says the hardest part of it all is that he has so much mucus he has to expectorate all day long. In all my research I cannot find any mention of this problem in other patients. His doctors just say it takes time and they are not sure why he has this problem. He took Amophistine (Ethyol) half-way through radiation to salvage his salivary glands, but had to stop because he became allergic to the injections. We assume the injections helped to save some of the salivary glands from being destroyed, but the Radiologist is not even sure why my husband has the problem with the persistent muscus building up. Has anyone experienced this problem. It would be most encouraging for my husband to know he is not alone.
