I'm a newbie having finished treatment just 6 weeks ago but I've read enough to know that radiation is the gift that keeps on giving years after treatment is over. I know of a woman that developed swallowing issues 12 years after treatment and is now relegated to PEG tube feedings and some soft foods.

Positive thoughts and prayers that things are resolved beneficially.
