Sybil and Tom- Do you both have esophagus strictures from Radiation and how long or big?? Tom - what did the doctors try?The Radiation dr. said the amount he wasxposed to was well within rec limits.Do we go to a CCC like Memorial Sloan Kettering or John Hopkins for ENT?When I was reading for answers someone one the site talked about Hyberic o2 treat metns.
Sybil- I agree we werer never told this could happen, We thought once this terrible treatment was over there might be complications but nothing like this.My husband never smoked and maybe 6 times a year has a margureita or beer. he had perfect health.
I am so sad. he lives to eat.
