Phlegm!!!!!

Hi Lilian. There may now be little to bring up and all you have is swelling to irritate you. The phlegm does top away and often quite quickly...mine did. Give your CNS a ring to see if you can be seen to check why you are finding breathing difficult. Are you doing all you can for your dry mouth? Frequent small sips of water or fizzy drink, drinking 3 litres of water a day, chewing gum, using any of a number of mouth gels, bioxtra mouthwash, water spray? These are all the things you can try.

Hope it eases for you

Hi Lilian can onky echo Dani’s words you n be in the the phase from mucus to dry mouth? Worth ringing your cns , but with weather ri g warm n muggy that affects our throats for sone time to come. I use bioxtra mouthwash it’s oh neutral alcohol free snd soothing.  I get on prescription.

Thanks for that Dani , I have lots of different mouth gels a n mouth washes, plus xylitol chewing gum but I have never been able to drink 3litres of water a day as I struggle with my swallowing.  Some good news though, I got a phone call yesterday teatime offering me an appointment  for my PET scan today at 5pm due to a cancellation so that is something I was pleased about but also nervous about , my anxiety has hit the roof but it is something that we need to know about. 
I just hope I get the results pretty quickly though. 
Thanks again for your help and being patient with me.

Thanks for that Hazel xx

Hi Lillian  you’ve come thus far don’t stress over stuff you’ve no control over. You  can’t influence the results  just remember you’ve dine all you can do. Results are usually available 7-10 days depends how often your mdt team meets. as Daninsays she had a hot spot but it was nothing in the end. Our cancers respond extremely well to treatment. Try to sip water as the day goes on are yiu still doing yiur exercises for mouth and throat u still do mine even now they are my life. Hugs and we will be with yiu during scan just close yiur eyes and think-pleasant thoughts.
