Hello,
The severe wheezing with persistent mucus co-relate with the advance malignancy affecting the mucosa deeply giving persistent discharge through cellular mechanics.
The wheezing indicates trachea displacement or compression via the enlarging oesophagal mass.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
