Suggest Treatment For Laryngeal Cancer
My husband was treated for laryngeal cancer. We are 16 weeks out of treatment but the swelling and pain and mucus has not abated at all. The doctors say it will just take time due to his age, longer. But he is very frustrated with all the mucus and tends to choke at times because of it. He did chemo and radiation and as of 12/1 he is in remission.
