Hi Reberto, sorry to hear that your cancer has come back, and you are now suffering from the side effects of your treatment. I had a lot of phlegm and saliva, after my treatment. My wife got a suction pump, which did help, clear some of it. Hope things improve for you soon.
Regards Ray
Hi Roberto
One of the other things that helps is plenty of nebulising as this thins the mucus and makes it easier to clear, the suction is a great use, I was supplied both a suction and nebuliser from my hospital and 3 years later with my Laryngectomy I still use both in particular the suction as with us our noses don’t work. I also found a cheap one on Amazon but it’s not portable so I have that one in the bedroom just in case
Hope it starts to improve
Tony
