Hi.

Im just wondering if this could possibly be a thing relating to post radiation for base of tongue cancer.

I'm 14 weeks post treatment and have made a really big effort for the last 3 weeks to start eating. (I was in too much pain before this).

I can only manage smooth foods and even tiny sized fruit in yoghurt chunks get stuck and cannot be swallowed, & when stuck water cannot get past it.

I'm now being seen by speech & language but just wondered about the shrinking of my oesophagus. The whole area feels restricted and even water can be an effort sometimes.

thanks
