Amy- My mom is just 3 weeks out form treatment and she still has horrible gagging mucous. Today she said that it has been the best so far. She also claims that this is the most annoying side effect of all. In the hospital they had her on cold type meds to thin the secretions out (Guafiasen). She also used the suction machine in the hospital when it was at its worse. She goes through a box of puffs a day blotting out the gunk. She also takes Zofron to help control the naseua from the mucous. How many more radiations does he have left? Tami
