Scar tissue in throat caused by radiation and chemo treatment

I had some scar tissue after chem/radiation/major surgery for Stage 4 esophageal cancer. During my recovery, I had my esophagus stretched under sedation. During 1 of the stretchings, the doctor broke thru the scar tissue and my swallowing was much better.

tongue is searing hot were anything, liquid or solid touches it. entire mouth filledd with chile peppers.
Is this common? finished 35 weeks of radiation last week (11/30/22

I also would like to know the answer to this question. I am always getting food stuck in my throat. Sometimes it's phlegm build up but it has become an issue.

O Don't that sound familiar, I do, especially Bread, even.my pills, try drinking water before you eat, its a buildup of Mucus from Radiation also my voice still gets Hoarse from it..& I finished Radiation 3/22/22..It will pass or try Mucinex, Honey, drink warm Liquids..
Hope this helps..

Wow.... exactly like my problem. If I can't move the food stuck I take a small amount of mucus/phlegm cough syrup. It usually moves it. I hope it subsides but have my doubts. I wonder if anyone else has a remedy. Have a good day!

Oh yes. Eating white mushy bread is not a good idea. Try eating rye, toasted bread, pumpernickel, thick whole wheat.

Sometimes I think its a Late effects of Radiation, as I had it to my Throat, Larynx Cancer, Radiation twice a day for 7 weeks..at night I have to sip water as Its rough. Feels like you can't breathe & its effecting my voice..Humidifier doesn't help, Mucinex doesn't help..
But it's a small price to pay as we're still here, & we're all here for each other to lean on
Hugs ❤

I completed radiation in early September and I have very dry mouth, especially at night. I can swallow okay, but I wake up with a horse voice and sometimes have a cough because of excessive mucus. At least the sore throat is gone and my taste buds are coming back. Im hoping it will continue to improve, but I can live with this if I have to. It is great to be alive!

I had Stage 4 esophageal cancer surgery. Was on a feeding tube for 6 mo. After finally returning home w/o feeding tube, I was told I'd need my esophagus stretched. 1st couple of times it didn't provide much swallowing relief, but on the 4th try doctor broke thru the scar tissue and I've not needed another stretching in 14 mo.

So sorry to hear what you and your husband are going through! I wonder how he's doing by now. I've found that even though I ask questions, many times the answer is a glum stare, a shrug, or simply, this is one of the long-term effects of radiation treatment. It begins to feel like Drs. treat what they can and they they can be done--they don't have to deal with the aftermath, which is ongoing and terrible.
