Like some of you, I too have difficulty swallowing anything thicker than broth..and it is not painful, but food just gets stuck in my throat. I will return for another swallow study on Jan. 30th, but noone at M.D.Anderson has discussed any procedures to improve the situation. My radiation treatments ended in Sep.2002 and I am getting a little frustrated by my slow progress.
I will watch the board to follow the progress of those of you who wrote in.
Best of luck,

Danny G.
