Just wondering if anyone has experience heartburn/acid reflux symptoms after chemo/radiation treatment for throat cancer? Seems I have increased sinus drainage and burning sensation accompanies increased sinus drainage from allergies.
Welcome to OCF! There are many kinds of after effects post rads. I did not experience this but, Im sure others here have also gone thru the heartburn problem. Try sleeping propped up on a couple pillows. Your doc may be able to help with medications too.

Best wishes!
