I am the main caregiver for my husband. He has had radiation for cancerous tumor on left tonsil in August, 2005. Neck dissection on 10/10/05. Cancer metasized to other parts of his body and he has had chemo treatments. The chemo has brought back the secretions with a vengeance. His radiation oncologist as well as a medical oncologist from MD Anderson did not think it was a good idea for my husband to use Levsin to dry up the secretions. The MD Anderson doctor felt that it had too many side effects. However, his GI doctor prescribed Nulev to help with the secretions and then we found out that Nulev was really Levsin. Has anyone used Levsin for secretions and did they find it helpful.
His medical onoclogist prescribed Transderm scop patch which he used but then when he stopped using the patch the secretions were too thick to cough up.

We use Guaifenesin as well as club soda for clearing the secretions.

Does anyone have any helpful suggestions?
