My husband completed chemo radiation for throat cancer in December 2021. His stoma still hasn’t closed 12 months after trach removal. He is not able to swallow anything and has a PEG tube. The ENT recommends closing the stoma in next month; however, we are concerned about having the procedure done. He has a great amount of mucus coming out of the stoma. We fear of aspiration if the stoma is closed. Has anyone experienced a lot of mucus coming out of the stoma? Or has anyone had a procedure done?
