In the last few days I’ve had dried mucus in my nose that makes it hard or impossible to breathe, especially when lying down. I’ve managed the last few radiotherapy sessions by carefully extracting the mucus a short time before the treatment but it’s not sustainable and the technique is starting not to work as I’ve obviously done it too often.
it just builds up again quickly and I’m going to damage my nose lining if I don’t find a better solution.
I have ordered a humidifier (arriving today) but does anyone else have any advice? Feeling very anxious as I can’t miss any sessions (I’m about to start week 5 of 6).
Thanks, everyone, in advance.
Hi and welcome. Try one of those decongestant nose sprays you get for a cold. I still use one now and then so that I don't end up sleeping with my mouth open. Best of luck

Do you do that just before RT or through the day as well?
Sounds brilliant if it works.
