First week after treatments ends

Hello , yes these issues will improve in time as the radiotherapy is still working , you could ask your team for some cream which will help , any cream or lotion with vitamin E is supposed to be good , bio oil etc . But please check before using any lotions or potions, also well done in getting through the treatment ,its nice to see. Wishing you all the best ,take care .

I would say use the cream that you were given for some time yet, also you say that you think the secretions are making you sick, I took mine out and didn't try to swallow them most of the time as they wouldn't go down that easily, if you don't do this give it a try just use a toilet roll or tissues to spit them into or remove them.

Agree with Ron much better to get them up and clear your throat,it's  a bind up and down to toilet but I honestly don't think I could swallow the gunk

I take it youve got a nebulizer on the go to loosen the gunk up also I've just started taking a syrup my team gave me began with c  carbenstone or something, will put it up when I get home

Carbocisteine is what its called breaks the mucus up I believe into more manageable amounts if that's the right word !! 

Grim process but needs must

I  spitting them out, but that is sometimes when it makes me gag and no I have not been given a nebuliser. 

Hi Kay 

ask the hospital,for one yiu can either use saline or I used plain boiled tap water on occasion yiu have to use the nebuliser severalmrimes a day for it to be effects. I too was given carbusistine but nit until treatment finished . It’s is horrible but the mucus is there to protect our throats from the damage i remember going through a box of tissues a day at one point. Niw I am left one year onward with the total opposite ie a dry mouth ! It’s a ni win situation but at least am here !

Yes and the dry mouth sucks! It makes your throat sore

Hell,o

I had severe mucosis and was told to use a nebuliser with saline four times a day. I'd go through at Least a box of Tissues a day & couldn't sleep for about a month due to the amount of gunk/liquid even though I was sitting up. My mouth continued to be full of blisters too and I had constant thrush in my mouth. I was given carboscisteine to help break down the secretions. After about a month it got better but mine was really servere,maybe that's why it takes so long. I'm 12 weeks out of radiotherapy & my nose runs while I eat. I've been told this is part of the mucosis (damage to linings). I have supersensativity to sugar, pepper, vinigar, salt, so the linings have still not recovered yet. It was the hardest bit I think but it does improve. To start takes everyday as it comes and then once past a moth you'll seen teeny improvements every week.   We're all here for you.
