Have just finished 3 weeks of radiotherapy for stage 3 lung cancer. Everything was going fine until Wednesday, then got so much pain along oesophagus, but not when I had eaten which is usually the case. Saw a senior nurse who prescribed a liquid to take 30 mins before eating and a paracetamol liquid to take 4 times a day.
It does hurt when I eat but also when I get up in the morning and during the day when not been eating and oesophagus is thribbing all the time.
Has anybody else had this, and what did they do.
Thanks
