Thank you very much for your response. There is no substitution for a personal experience, and I thank you for sharing it. I found your input very helpful.
Yes, she has a lot of saliva and mucus to deal with. We have ordered an adjustable hight pillow; hoping that will allow her to rest better. Of, course, we are eagerly awaiting the start of her treatment.
Thank you again, and wishing you nothing but the best.

@max102, if your friend can't sleep on a different pillow, you might also consider raising the top of the bed or mattress. How is your friend doing? Whe does she start treatment?
