Side effects from Rads on my Troath
I just wanted to mention a side effect that I had this year from Rads on my C7/T1 vertebrae last year, I am not sure if this is the right topic/forum for this but here goes.''
I was having hoarseness and a cough at the beginning of June this year and notice my voice was getting worse, I started having choking and swallowing issues and mentioned it to my Oncologist who then set up a scope to be done to see what was going on. It turned out that I had scar tissue built up from the radiation on the back of my neck which is apparently quiet common and this was causing the issue, I had two scopes done and they stretched out the blockage with a balloon and now I am back to feeling great without any issues and my voice has returned to normal.
Hope this helps someone with similar issues.
