Just wanted to drop in and ask a question to the group. We all know the excess mucous experienced during chemo and radiotherapy.
I'm still suffering now 9 months after second lot of treatment. I'd describe this more like a build up of phlegm/mucous in my throat, which I have to try and cough to get rid of. Its worse after lying down,so particularly bad first thing in the morning, but also particularly bad at the moment. I've had the usual lanzaprosal,and omeprazole but with no obvious relief.
Anyone be of help,got similar symptoms with anecdotes ?
Thanks
