Hello
My husband was diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer early July this year. Was on a curative path & operation however since contracting sepsis following one cycle of FLOT chemo his prognosis has changed. Very slim chance of operation and awaiting alternative chemo & immunotherapy to start hopefully soon. He has been fitted with a stent today to help him eat/drink as he's been totally dependent on jedg feeding tube. One of the main problems has been controlling the excess saliva and bouts of coughing up lots of sticky Bile which prevents sleeping well at night. Tried lanzaprazol antisickness medicine prescribed by oncology but nothing works and don't get me started on hyoscine patches which are no longer available and there is no working alternative other than Glycopyrronium which after one injection in hospital dried up mouth & throat too much. Does anyone suffer with this or recommend a remedy to help it subside? Medics say if stent works it will subside but if it doesn't? Quality of life isn't very good at the moment. Sorry to ramble on if you've read this far.
