I would like to add something to this subject. I had choking after treatment. I was about 9 mo. past and I went in for a dilation of the esophagus. This is where they stretch the scare tissues in the Throat, caused from Radiation. It helped me 100% I have had the procedure done 2 times.
I do have problems with certain foods like potatoes, anything that seems to pack in the throat. I still need lots of liquids when eating that type of food. I have found meats that have lots of moisture like chicken thighs are easier to eat.
Hope this will be of some help to you. Take care, Diane
