Tim hang in there.

My Dad hated the phlegm also; that was his main issue. It really concerned him when he'd try to force it up. BUT he got threw it!! and so can you! Just keep telling yourself it will get better.

Get a humidifier for your bedroom; this will help a bit.

Get lots of hydration into your tube and if you can't then ask for IV hydration. My Dad had daily IV hydration on the last week of treatment and it helped.

I know the last week of rad was hard for him to do; but he did it! He skipped one day but added to the end of treatment and he did all 35 IMRT's. We met another man age 72 who put his entire last week on hold for a week then he continued and completed all 35. You only have 14 left to do; you are almost done. Keep up the good work Tim! and talk to your doctors about options and concerns.
