Hi

Any information on the secretions  any ideas on when these slow down or disappear.  My issue in company is getting rid of secretions its starting to make me feel a bit conscious of the need to get rid of them 

  • Spit spit and spit. Horrid. 
    mine was all gone by 4 weeks post radio. 
    I went through industrial quantities of kitchen roll which went into the Rayburn every morning. 
    The more I drank the better it got

  • Hi,

    Agree with beesuit, spit it up wasn't ideal with company I know but needs must.

    Think I probably endured for two weeks mebbe, had medication for it ,too loosen it up and of course my nebulizer which helped at night ,

    Good luck

    Hi

    I know it has to be the worst side effects for me .

    Just have to hang in their with the water and wait until they leave. 

    Thankyou 

  • Hi as beesuit says water water and more water is really a good secret to thinning the secretions. . That plus a copious supply of tissues , I still 15 month on still occasionally have to spit when I’ve eaten someth8ng scratchy mybthroat produces copious amounts of thick gunk  to protect it. .
