Hi, my partner, Stuart, has cancer in two lymph nodes pressing on the laryngeal nerve. He’s had 3 rounds of chemotherapy. During the treatment his salivation has got so much worse. He is unable to swallow due to an oesophagectomy in 2024, so he’s having to spit out the saliva and this is from morning to bedtime.
As he has a tracheostomy (no lucky heather here) he can’t have injections to reduce the saliva as it will impact on the tracheostomy. He could use Scopoderm patches but no pharmacist has these in stock and are unable to order. I wonder if someone could help. We’re at our wits end as the medical team cannot help due to the complexity. To think he was perfectly healthy before he had the surgery. I’m heartbroken.
