Hi there. I'm sorry about your friend. I was wondering if you know that this is a site for those with Ovarian cancer and others affected by it.

It can be a side effect of some of the chemo or acid reflux

I have been on weekly taxol and I have been suffering with this as well. I think it is call post nasal drip can also be caused by acid reflux as well. It might be best to see her GP to see what it causing it as she may need an antacid like omeprazole or even some hayfever medication.

I also have this mucus problem. Think it must be a chemo side effect. A real nuisance, especially at night as it stops me sleeping. I use a nasal spray but the side effects of this are - it stops me sleeping! Will ask doc ref hay fever type pills. Some of these make you drowsy I think!
