I really can't believe what is happening to me my oncologist ordered a barium swallow study and that came out normal. But still having trouble swallowing but my local GI doctor ordered a manometry test, tube goes down the nose into stomach and the results said that my esophagus is no longer working and that my sphincter that keeps food down is no longer working and I have a hiatal hernia. I was told there is nothing they can do for me unless I start aspirating. My oncologist says I am fine. I am VERY frustrated and at the end of my rope. Has anyone ever heard of this. He said it is not from radiation cause he has seen other people without radiation with this problem. The last two nights I am wheezing and coughing and chest and back hurts. I just can't believe it. Can anyone give me advise. I received radiation in my mouth and neck, so I don't get why no one wants to tie the two together. Please anyone have a feed back on this matter. Thanks
