Hello
I wanted to write to tell everyone about this medication that completly cleared up my fathers mucus. It did the impossible. He has now recurrent neck cancer as the radiation and chemo did not kill the cancer. He recently went to get a trach put in and they did an biopsy while they were in there and it came back positive. He is now home on hospice and after all this we told hospice about his flem and they gave us Transderm Scop patches. They are for sea sickness . We had to use two at a time for it to work. We put one patch behind each ear and it really worked. Nothing has worked all this time . His flem is so bad he could hardly lay down flat for his radiation treatments and had to cut some short. He cant take any cat scans because of it as well. All this time he could have had this and maybe been able to eat better as all food came out of his nose. He now has a feeding tube in and a trach and still has cancer and some how this patch made all the flem dissapear and I mean really dissapear and in a day. He had bad neasua from the feeding tube and it also made that go away so now he can get up and move around. I really cant say enough about these patches. Please if you have bad mucus or even if you have neausea please have your doctor try these. His flem was so bad you could actually grab it and pull. Not to be gross but to give you an example of how bad it was to how gone it is now. I hope this can help even one person. My father wanted everyone to know about it. Had we had it earlier it would have been easier on him and we might have been able to get better readings on his scans. Just as a side note, he also has bad swelling of his cheeks lips and tongue from his lymphatic system not draining right. They put him on Steriods and the swelling went down in 2 days. He has to stay on them but it does help.

Thank you for posting this, I will be calling my husband's doctor first thing Monday,he has been dealing with very thick mucus for 3 years the only thing we have found to ease it so far is Coke and Guaifenesin but it has helped very little. He has mestastic head and neck cancerof the tonsil root.He has undergone radical surgery.2 rounds of Chem-o,1 of radiation our latest fight was a mass in the liver.We have dealt with 2 outbreaks in the lung ,first one he had a wedge resection,second one a round of chem-o the latest in the liver he had a procedure done called radio frequency ablation. Thank you again for posting this I am really hopeful it will improve his New Normal way of life as we call it.
