Hi @wretired2000, this must be scary and concerning for you and your husband. I moved your message to the Head & Neck Cancer group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/head-neck-cancer/) so you can connect with others like @alpaca @loli @ezg @drmiller and more.
@russparsons wrote about a similar excessive mucus issue in the Esophageal Cancer group and @mindyt describes her experience with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy here:

Did your husband also have surgery?

He did not have surgery. The doctors at Dana Farber said it was too dangerous. Radiation and immunotherapy was the treatment. He is now in remission but still has the feeding tube and his mouth filling withe saliva and mucus. He is undergoing the bariatric machine treatment.
