@hrhwilliam I had my last throat radiation about 4 1/2 years ago and still produce heavy mucus above my soft palate which hampers my swallowing..Been on a stomach(PEGtube) since then. Too thick to swallow the mucus. At times at 4 AM have to sit up with my head back and try to hock out the garbage. It only oozes down from above my palate very slowly and then I spit it out in a tissue Also my palate is blistered (puffy) which started about a year ago.

@gareee314 sorry to hear what you are experiencing. That doesn’t sound like normal recovery in any sense. What do your doctors say or do for you?
