When discussing the mucus problem in the first post, I just assumed everyone was talking about the incredible flow during treatment. When it was happening to me, I asked my doctor about it. He said what it really was , is fluid weeping from radiation burns inside my mouth and throat. Just like when you burn your skin. It blisters up and if you pop it, fluid comes out.
My question is, are some of you talking about mucus problems post treatment? I ask because I've never had allergies in my life, until now. I consistently feel stopped-up and have a runny nose. Like a cold is coming on.
My ENT thinks it's allergies. I'm on Allegra, Nasacort and even had a nasal reconstruction. All this has helped tremendously, but after reading all your post, I have to wonder if what I'm experiencing is a long-term effect of radiation.
Anyone else going through this?
