Is there anything done to remove scar tissue so you can eat?

Hi @keith123 and welcome to Connect. I've added your message to the Head & Neck Cancer group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/head-neck-cancer/) so that you can meet others who know first hand about scar tissue in the throat caused by cancer treatments. Members like @alpaca @karly @skoshi @jimchardy @wayno1234 and others know first hand how the treatments and scar tissue make eating such a challenge.

While we wait for other members to join the discussion, here are some other discussions you might be interested in as well:

Keith, we look forward to getting to know you. What type of cancer did you have? Did you have a feeding tube?
