Yes, I had choking problems from radiation depending on what I was eating. I cut everything into very small pieces before eating and drank lots of water. It was really bad the first month or so after radiation. I generally found that if I choked on something, I could cough it up and then would have no more problems for the rest of the meal. Doctors did nothing. Not even certain if I had a swallow test. Problem never went completely away until second cancer but did improve with time.

There are swallowing exercises you can be given and I would suggest you get a swallow test. Your speech therapist should do an eval for you. Make certain you do as much swallowing as possible, even if only liquid. These muscles must be kept active or you can have permanent problems.

Take care,
