Darrell,

Let me add my thanks here as well. I'm about five months post-radiation now, and still have significant difficulty swallowing. I also have what I call coughing fits. Whatever it is, it's definitely radiation induced. I'll ask my surgeon and radiation nocologist about a referral. Thanks, and good luck to you.
