Thank you so much. Never heard of that med for coughing but will definitely ask about it! Hopefully it is something that could be put through the tube. The dr thinks it may be reflux causing the cough, but he's never had reflux. Course, he never had cancer before either. My husband can't swallow enough to drink yet, even after 2 months, but he continues with the excercises. He could feed himself via the tube but with the constant hacking cough, it takes 3 hands so someone can pinch the tube to prevent the gastric geyser from the syringe!
Your comments at least give me some hope that at some point he will be able to swallow and eat again! Thank you and take care of yourself!

Hope is a powerful thing. Some days it's what keeps me going. My husband had an esophagectomy in April. It's still a roller coaster but the survivors on this platform have told him and me to not give up hope. I won't.
