Since being diagnosed with OC, my husband has complained of a 'gummy mouth' and has been spitting up quantities of mucus. Whenever he's mentioned it, and he has mentioned it every consultation, the medics say they 'don't know' . The closest we've come to an explanation is that the mucus is coming up because the tumour is blocking it from 'going down' into the stomach. He had a stent fitted yesterday and the expectation is that this will improve swallowing: problem is that he has been able to swallow, but the 'gummy mouth' makes anything taste so awful, he doesn't want to have it in his mouth. We should probably be patient for longer, but has anyone else had gummy mouth?
Thanks.
