Scar tissue in throat caused by radiation and chemo treatment

My esophageal cancer was successfully treated with radiation and chemo in January. However, the common aftermath of scar tissue continues to torment me and I go in for endoscopies every 6 weeks or so. Is there a contact at UIHthat my gastroenterologist can refer me to for an evaluation? We live on the west coast, but our family in is DesMoines, so it would be feasibile to travel there. Thanks!

@tvanhaal Ds Moines is also close to Mayo Clinic Rochester, MN. They might be able to take a look and see if something can be done to improve your situation. The effects of radiation can sometimes take two years to work itself out but I wouldn't let anything go that long without having it checked and repaired. Just my opinion of course. And welcome to Connect by the way.
