I have thyroid cancer the tumor is still alive but not growing, I guess because of the cancer meds I am currently taking. I can swallow liquids but l cough until it comes up, which is no fun.
I am 75 years old and have had the feeding tube for 3 years. Is there anything that can be done to allow me to swollen liquids at least. I am dying for a big glass of water.

Thanks, Virginia

Hey Virginia, are you trying very small sips at a time? As for the cough itself, ask your doctor for Tessalon Perles(Benzonatate). I too suffered from the coughing and during one of my infusions my nurse went and got me a prescription of Tessalon Perle and what a relief!
I hope this helps
