@gareee314 Oh my, you just describe what I'm going though. My started happening after 9 yrs with no problems. Then out of the blue, I started to have issues swallowing when I'm eating, had to make sure I had water by my-side all the time to help get it down. All my doctors are baffled and don't know what to do. I'm on a feeding tube now, place in Nov. 2025. need to change the tube every 3 months. After seeing my ENT physician assistant, He check me out and said he didn't know what to do. I wanted a second opinion, I'm thinking theres has be a doctor out there that can help. So I made a appointment with a ENT outside my town. I'm attaching my report...so you can understand what's going on with me. My in town ENT (pa) did not inform me of the new issues I'm having. 🙁 I like this support group it helps. remember "We're all are on different journeys, but at the same time we're on the same journey." Have a bless day 🙂

Ask for a swallow study. That’s how this was diagnosed. My husband is five years out from his first radiation treatments and 6 months out from radiation during this recurrence.
This will show up on a swallow study .
We are in Salt Lake and the Huntsman Cancer Institute is fabulous
