Tonight I had number 15 of 15 radiotherapy.on my neck..I got to ring the bell,almost broke it......

I have been so poorly this weekend with mucositus,but have been prescribed carbocisteine-which then has made me sick....I was actually sick outside  the hospital as we left tonight...

Ive taken anti sickness tonight,and will take carbocisteine as its the mucus causing me to gag even when just speaking.... 

Glad of a rest now treatment has ended... xxx 

  • Good morning Moxy1, well done for finishing your treatment. Stay strong, the road to recovery is still a way to go.  I watched my hubby through all this. I can feel for you. Stay positive,you will get there,even so it will feel like a  one step forward,two steps back kind of journey. Best wishes fellow wife Mel x

  • Well done Sue....I know it's been a tough one for you. The mucous will ease fairly quickly and for me the change was quite sudden. One day I was spitting and the next day I wasn't. I really do feel for you, especially if you have such a sensitive gag reflex.. Mucositis which is what is ulcerating your throat takes a while longer. My ulcers persisted for a few months but actually were not that painful. Now cuddle up and heal.
