Runny Nose

SusanRuth

Hello. I wonder if anyone can help?  Steve, my husband is now 7 months post op for Oesophageal Cancer and 4 months post his last chemo treatment.  He's going really well and has put 2 of the 4 stone he lost back on.  He feels fine and is back to work almost full time after 10 months off.  However, he continues to suffer with a runny nose during/after eating, although nowhere near so severe.  It was one of the first symptoms he had before he was diagnosed.  Its probably a throw back to his chemo but I'm beginning to worry it's come back.  Anybody out there got any words of wisdom/reassurance or advice?

Thanks all

    Hi there Susan,

    Good to hear your husband has completed treament and is slowly getting back to normal.

    I was thinking the same as AnnieLiz when I first read your post.  Runny nose can be down to having chemo.  Obviously you say he had it as a cancer symptom before so it's worth asking the doctors, but hopefully it's just coincidence that runny nose is a symptom of the cancer and of having chemo (as per AnnieLiz this is due to the lack of nose hair).

    Best wishes,

    LJx
