Hi all, new to this forum. I have cancer in the base of tongue thanks to the HPV . Am looking for recommendations on steamers or nebulisers to buy to deal with the mucous problem.  
Just finished week one or RT and Chemo

  • Hi Tomás,

    I managed without one simply steaming my head over hot water but I thought I’d welcome you anyway. 
    Some hospitals loan out nebulisers but if not I think a lot of people just got cheap ones from Amazon. I’m sure somebody will be along with a recommendation. Good luck and stick around do that we can help you along. 
    I’m somewhere between three and four years clear of exactly the same cancer.
