I am curious about medications and solutions for Mucus. Just completed 35 session in 6 weeks with 2 - cysplatin. Mouth sores and mucus ae terrible for him. He has spent the last 3 days gagging and throwing up because of the mucus. He is Tussinex and Solomine Patch. Today they gave him RX for antiven to control gagging. But the mucus is horrible. His throat is bleeding because of the throwin up. He does rinse with Salt and Soda mixture 5 times a day. but even right after he finishes the mucus is already building. He cannot swallow. Rad iation took that away..

He is also in severe pain. Currently on 2 25mg Fetynol patches and supplement with Roxicet. He has been so fuzzy with these pain meds. He is constantly moving his hands while sleeping reaching for things. Does not realize the day or time of day it is.

He has PEG but was uphill battle because of his pride. we are using the Carnation HC 560 a can 8oz.

I feel so helpless for him. He is a very proud and independent man. He feels he should be on his way up and we just finished treatment past Friday. The told us 2-4 weeks. But he is more exhausted then he ever has been through this.

He has been very emotional the last 3 days and also completly out of it in some ways. Is this normal and any help with the mucus for him would be so appreciated.
