Hi @miggy, I’m confident that other members in the esophageal cancer group will have some ideas that you can pursue with your cancer team to help soothe and resolve the terrible burning pain that you are experiencing after chemo and radiation treatment. Members like @loribroda @lori57216 @survivorsuz and @puprluvr
Miggy, This must be so unbearable despite getting the encouraging news that you are cancer free!
Here are a couple of related discussions although I’m not certain they reflect the pain you’re experiencing.

- My Dad has terrible burns from radiation. Any suggestions to help? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/radiation-burns/
Can you describe your situation a bit more? Is the pain inside your chest? Your throat? Do you have issues with swallowing, mucus?

Thanks for getting back to me.
The pain is on the inside of my chest. Right behind breast bone; between breasts. I have a lot of trouble eating and drinking. I can't eat anything that is bulky or thick. I can't eat a quantity of anything, 1/2 piece toast, etc. If I eat to much or take to many pills even, I will vomit it all back up. And for everything that goes down, even spit, I have to burp. Constantly burping. I vomit until I heave probably 3-4 times a week. I was dead set against surgery if there is NO CANCER. But I can't continue to live this way and the doctors don't seem to know what to do.😥
