I'm a month post proton radiation now. However, I still have esophagitis and trouble with spasms from time to time. I'm still 99% on tube feeding. I'd hoped to be further along, but it is what it is. I go back in a month for followup. Best of luck with the PC. They can do a lot with it now. My stepson developed it in his mid-50s recently. His insurance wouldn't cover proton, even though there's a proton facility within a few miles of his house in Nashville...

Sorry you are still on feeding tube which is no fun. I hope you start seeing improvement soon and can start eating again. I start PC radiation treatment in 6 days now.
