Michael-
My mom just found a significant improvement in the phelm production this week. She is about 5 weeks out from her last chemo/imrt. She is finally getting a good amount of sleep now too. 4-5 hours at a time. According to her she said it was like the phlem just turned off quickly. She went from having a ton of it (box of puffs a day) to only a few clean outs a day. Her pain is also diminishing quickly. (down to 25mg of Fentanyl). Hang in there....you will get better.
Best wishes
Tami
