Hi, I have reached a huge milestone after 2 surgeries and 30 rounds of proton beam radiotherapy I am finished and back home (I had to live away for proton beam). Surgeries were to remove olfactory neuroblastoma and radiotherapy for nose, lower brain and both sides of neck.
Most side effects under control and almost manageable except my swallowing challenges due to pain in my throat with thick mucus also.
Im on paracetamol as well as morphine plus have all the mouth washes (salt / sodium bicarbonate / benzy…) I’m also on flucomine to clear what might also be oral candida. I have a humidifier on at night too plus Xylimelts.
I am just about managing to drink soup as well as the forticip drinks from the dietician, but it’s tough and takes determination.
Anyone got anything they have tried for their throat not listed above? How long did your bad throat last for?
Thanks v much
