Received 35 radiation treatments-25 on entire throat-10 in right side only. Treatments have stopped since 4 months. I wake up at night every hour or so to spit white phlegms that accumulate in my throat. Worse if I eat anything with spices. Still have hard time eating certain meat. No pain at all while eating but choices of food have to be made. Lost 45 lbs. I still remember when I was a happy fat lady. My family physician prescribed "Nasonex" but it didn't help at all. Any suggestions? I miss my sleep and have to sleep at times during the day. My family physician has received a message from Cancer doctor that I am now free of the disease? I hope so anyway. Thanks for reading this message.  terrywilly Sun, 01 Mar 2009 00:00:00 GMT
