Feeling like you have a lump in your throat

I found it difficult to swallow towards the end of chemo and there wasn't much to help. It got better within a few weeks of finishing chemo though so stick in there.

Thank you for your  replying. 
It’s just another thing to have to put up with!

I hope your doing well after your chemo

I wonder if its the steroids. I took lansoprazole when I was on steroids and that helped x

Thanks. 
I will bear that in mind

Hi Sandrad

I have this too but it’s constant . Apparently it’s due to reflux but nothing seems to ease mine . I had it before chemo but the chemo definitely exasperated it .  I also get constant hiccups even drinking water 

Hi, it could be acid reflux.  I had terrible digestive problems through chemo.  Mention it next time you are having chemo and they can give.you medication for it x

Thanks. I will chat to the nurse at my next appointment

Hi 

This is what I’ve been having recently after my first chemo on 23rd March , I had mouth ulcers too , it ended up excruciatingly painful and I couldn’t swallow it was so bad in my chest and back too 

. At the beginning I was given omeprazole which helped my stomach symptoms but think there was damage to my throat by that point !
I’ve just started antibiotics and have gaviscon liquid , Ive started to pick up a bit now 

I’d definitely ask for the above ( maybe not the abx tho) as my nurse had said she thought it was oesophagitis caused by the steroids but also the chemo itself 

love L xx 

Thanks for the advice. 

It’s one side effect I didn’t know  may happen.
