OP x28007 Senior Member (100+ posts) Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 138 Virginia	Because of radiation effects, I had to have three dilations of my esophagus within the first 2 mos post TX. Now, at 7 mos post TX, I need some more dilations because the stricture is back. My esophagus tore in a few places during the last dilation and it was very painful for several days after the procedure. I am afraid that it might happen again this time. I am looking for others who have had esophageal dilations due to radiation effects and what your experiences have been. Last edited by x28007; 01-24-2008 06:36 AM. Nine years out.
