My husband has similar problem. White foamy mucous. It has improved some since radiation dries the mouth but we had little luck finding anything that helped. He just carried tissues and a spit cup all the time. He can't swallow so this just added to the problem.

@phyllisg my husband is a week out from 33 treatments of radiation along with 6 chemo treatments which finished 2 weeks ago he has no interest in drinking water which absolutely baffles me. I feel so helpless he is due to have his trach removed on the 21st God Willing he has not needed it they put it in as a precaution he has a feeding tube but we are keeping it in till his pet in June I want to help but at the same time feel
Helpless…his cancer was at the base of his tongue and they said that it was no longer visible which is a good thing ughhh this is such a roller coaster
