← Return to Chest Pain after treatment and pneumonitis: Any suggestions?

I just wanted provide an update on this situation. So far I have seen my oncologist, GP, radiologist, cardiologist, pulmonologist, gastroentrlogist, and surgeon about the chest pains. Not one of them seems to have a clue about what is going on. They all say to see someone else. The gastroenterologist flat out told me it isn't her problem (her words exactly). The pain has been getting worse. I feel I am being treated as nothing more than a problem patient they don't want to deal with and wish I would go away. I have esophageal cancer! I am not a hypochondriac. In fact, I was seldom sick in my life prior to this. I have no idea what else to do.

@islagiatt, this is deflating and discouraging. I can imagine that your distress and frustration makes things even worse and you're at your wit's end. I just re-read your original post. Let me see if I have this correct.
- Pneumonitis was treated successfully last spring and you no longer have inflammation in the lungs.
- You only experience the pain when bending over or with physical exertion like walking uphill.
- You had chemoradiation, but no surgery. You completed treatment over a year ago (Oct 22).

Do I have that right? Did the cardiologist perform any tests?
