Hi I know exactly how you feel, I had the thick mucus during the radiotherapy so had to time it so I didn't choke when the mask was clamped down. I had a feeding tube with the fortisip 5 bottles a day just to keep some weight on. It's really tough but you will get there and things will start to improve about 1 month after the treatment stops. Keep doing your mouth exersices and swallow small sips of water when you can. It's been a year since treatment for me know and I'm back to work part time. My taste is crap but you learn to eat differently and in smaller mouthfuls
