That's it....Hazel playing off favorites...

I'm selling my stake in Hazel on auction as there is obviously no loyalty.

My starting offer is 50p (no returns)

Don’t go breaking my heart xx

 Must be worth at least£1.00 if only for my useless knowledge of throat cancer boys !

Hiya spent ages reading through posts....I'm 3 weeks into radiotherapy and struggling...everyone seems to have got through treatment but I'm having so many issues....really struggling with mucus as feel I'm going to choke or be sick then panic as scared I wont be able to breathe as throat so swollen...can't eat darnt eat as scared be sick and then choke? Help

Hi Linda,

Many of us did get through treatment but we all faced simllar issues such as thick musus during treatment. It's unpleasant and one of the unfortunate side effects of radiotherapy.
I found a nebiliser helped a little and used while going through the worst patch. To be honest, it doesnt last too long. I would suggest you speak to your support team, not only to see if they could lend a nebuliser and prescribe some saline, but also talk through your issues. The main concern is not really one of mucus but the fact that you are not eating. Not sure if you have a tube or are on supplement drinks, but you really need to have fuel into your body, one way or other.

Your support team is your best option to resolve with you and they will also be monitiring your weight and side effects. They are wonderful at providing help and solutions and will find a workaround for you.
One other thing I did was buy a diffuser from Amazon and some eucalptus/menthol oil and found that helped me as well.

Not sure if you have read my blog(and Hazel's) but I have posted a link below so can can have a read through at each stage and some helpful tips picked up along the way.

Dont despair too much as mucus is prefectly normal at this stage and trust me, we all had many issues to deal with as well, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. The treatment and recovery period brings many little challenges to work though and there is plenty of support here and from your medical support team to help you though.

Let me know if I can help further in any way or if you have any more questions.
