My FIL is 86 , finished radiotherapy November 15th 2024 for voice box cancer .
He did really well and all good until late May 2025 when voice starts to croak and complaining of difficulty in swallowing fluids as chokes but can eat solids normally
They have said its late onset mucositis , not reoccurance but its dire.
Now has a RIG, is NBM and currently an inpt on steroids to reduce the swelling etc
He is finding the thick sticky secretions too hard to clear
Has anyone got any advice or tips they used
I'm reading about carbocystine - he's not been offered that .
He has a mouthwash but I read some are better than others - advise please
Anyone with any tips at all on mucocitis please let me know - all welcome
I read cbd gummies can be good - anyone used these ?
Thanks in advance
Meg
