Anyone out there ever get problems with reflux after you started eating again? My esophagus under my sternum hurts when i sneeze or try to deeply clear my throat. I was doing the clearing to try to get some of the thick mucous up, but have now quit. I'm taking protonix and dr said it could take 2 or 3 months to clear up. It's been more than six weeks now.

Of course, I try not to sneeze or do anything to irritate it and it does seem to be getting better. I was just wondering if this is something other people have gone through. My thinking is that the chemo and radiation may have made my throat more susceptible to irritation from reflux. I was also taking Erbitux.

Otherwise, i'm feeling great!!
