Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
A throat cancer is a difficult condition to treat and it looks like your father developed a side effect during treatment. Usually the food passage and airway are separate in humans. However due to the cancer and subsequent treatment, there is a suspected false passage between the throat and the food passage. This is to be confirmed by doing a dedicated CT scan if the symptoms worsen and surgically it might be corrected.
Your father is showing good response to treatment and therefore getting him treated after taking an expert opinion is suggested. You might like to consult more than one oncologist and then proceed with the recommended treatment after studying his cancer and general health condition. Please continue ryles tube feeding because nutrition is important to maintain a good level of general health condition. Please do not worry.
