Doctors told me the mucous is your body fighting like hell to heal the burns that the radiation has caused. Your nasal cavity gets a little bit burned too ( my tumor was at the base of the tongue) so there is some nasal secretions that get in there too. I just had to cough it up as often as possible. I got pretty good at getting the crap out in one ball after alot of practice. About that time it started getting better.... wink
