My husband had his last chemo/radiation treatment 3/10/06. 10 days ago his ENT had a barium xray done which showed an 8 centimeter (4 ") stricture at the top of his esophaus.He had been saying he couldn't swallow even a sip of water without great pain and it would come back up for weeks.This past Wednesday the gasstrointestinal surgeon tried and failed to find an opening to dialate his esop. Today the ENT surgeon tried again under general anathesia and couldn't do it. She and the radiation oncologist are saying wait a month and they will try again with an oral surgeon going in thru his peg tube and going up through the esophagus and at the same time the ENT will try again from the top down. She said to wait and eventually they should be able to dialate . She also said the best outcome will be that he would only be able to eat soft foods. Our treatment center is in a rural area .HELP. Should we wait as they are saying it is still early and healing time may improve this problem or should we get a second opinion now because waiting could make it worse. Where do we go? CCC or ENT?
