I am almost 1 1/2 years from treatment - I like you especially at the beginning had lots of mucus, for me it was exhausting coughing non stop from the mucus - I was able to to HBO therapy at 6 months cancer clear, after a few treatments I was healing - mucus was under control taste buds came back it was amazing. So now I get increased mucus after I eat and drink also but you can google foods that cause increased mucus production and foods that do not - this is really helping me and this is where I am - one more thing I’m learning - deep breathing it can clear - help with Speach - everything. I hope this helps ….

I feel better after reading your message. My husband had a sarcoma of the tongue and throat and is cancer free now. But the mucus is non stop. He is on a feeding tube We are hoping that he will be a candidate for the HBO treatment.

Thank you for mentioning googling foods that cause increased mucus production and foods that do not. My husband had Stage 3 Esophageal cancer treatment and surgery beginning in November with surgery in early March. He had heavy mucus initially and it seems to slowly be getting better ... however, just when we think it's going away it rears its ugly head. I am going to Google for this information. Thank you.

Any suggestions are so helpful!

Can you tell me how many HBo treatments you had and how long you were in the capsule. My husband has had 35 treatments. Each one lasts 2 hours but the mucus is still coming constantly.
