Anyone else have to use massive amounts of water to swallow? It usually takes me about 3 glasses to get one scrambled egg down. By then I'm waterlogged. Water even taste metalic to me now. I finished treatment January 23rd. I thought things would be getting better by now. I was doing very well before radiation and now I can't swallow very much before I start gagging. Things feel like they are getting stuck. Anyone had to have their esophagus dialated?
