4 SCC. Lots of mucous and saliva- using a peg for everything now as it’s difficult for him to eat or drink. We were curious how long it takes for thinks to dry up a bit- not sure which is worse mucous or dry mouth.

I noticed a difference in the production of mucus when I hit the 3rd week of finishing treatment. By then it was easing up for me. For some it's a noticeable difference from week 2, others it might be week 4.
