Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 3 | 4 months out after 35 rad and cysplatin HPV related stage 3 no nodes. Pet scan coming soon. When I eat ,doesnt matter what, feels like stuff is hanging up in throat on left side or back. After 1-2 hours it goes away. While this happens my voice gets hoarser.Very uncomfortable feeling but not chocking. Anyone ever have this! | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 269 Gold Member (200+ posts) | | Gold Member (200+ posts)
Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 269 | I actually have the same problem, (i'm 3 months post rads) however that feeing of gunk hanging in the back of my throat actually never seems to go away. So obviously, I have no answers, but am very glad you posted the question. Hopefully we will get someone who can help us out.

Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 3 | how many rads did you have and did you also have chemo. When you try to clear your throat do any food particles come up.I saw an ENT twice for this just recently. Hew scoped me and said everything looks good. It is a swallowing thing so I am doing those excercises wish I had done them from the beginning.Also I feel stuff splashing to the back of my nose. Orange juice burns the heck out of my nose! | | | | | Joined: Jul 2012 Posts: 3,267 Likes: 4 Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) | | Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts)
