What Causes Difficulty In Swallowing?

I am undergoing radiation therapy for Stage II breast cancer. Ever since starting radiation, I have had my voice going hoarse suddenly and ocassionally. Now in the past couple of weeks, I have also been having trouble swallowing at times, feeling like there is a lump in my throat. Is this connected to the radiation? I do have a benign nodule on the right side of my thyroid, but the difficulty feels like it is mainly on the left side.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
Have you consider to try topical creams or ovules that contain estrogen? Or even better ovules that contain only natural plants that helps with dryness . Premarin is generally safe but it might have side effects. If your only problem is vaginal dryness i would suggest something topical that contain shatavari extrat .

Kind regards
