Hi everyone,

It has been a while since I wrote. I am 15 mos off the radiation table and was feeling great until this past week. I started to feel "chocking" spasms in my throat/neck area. It feels like a spasm. Has anyone ever experienced this?
Just at my ENT and Rad Dr last month and got a clean bill of health. Not scheduled to see them again until 6 mos.
Any ideas????????????

Sorry I have not gone thru anything like this. There are all kinds of after effects that you can get from radiation. I would check with your ENT. Hope this resolves itself quickly and its nothing to be concerned about. Be well smile

Yes, I get occassional spasms in my mouth (Not so much neck). It worried me at first because I had very intense spasms when I first got sick. There's never been a good conclusion made but they are not frequent and everything is clear. As Christine mentiones it is still worth bringing up and getting it checked into.
