Hi everyone,

I have just 7 more radiation treatments and 1 chemo and I am done with this torture. Right now my mouth is producing non-stop mucus which is causing me to gag, dry heave, barf etc.. It is also interfering with my sleep big time. I am lucky to be able to sleep 20 minutes before waking up choking my but off. Anyone that has been through this can understand how much it hurts to dry heave with a throat that is continuously on fire from the radiation.

A nurse at the hospital suggested I take Mucinex to help loosen the mucus and flem from my lungs and throat. It seems that all this does is create more or at least thinner mucus. Certainly has not relieved it. Other than that, I walk around with my salt/baking soda rinse.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for Me?

Thank you

Jon
