Is it BC mets to the esophegus?

[lu ann]

I had radiation treatment 2 years ago for mets to the mediastynime and spine. My last CT scan showed stable disease. Over the last month I have woke up from sleep with strong stomach acid in my throat. I have also experienced some tightening in my esophegus when I eat. I had spaghetti for dinner this evening and felt like I was choking. The spaghetti never made it to my stomach. I had to force it back up so I would not choke. I do have pleural effusion that could be the cause of this constriction or this could be a spread of the disease. Has anyone else had these symptoms? I am half-way through a two month break from chemo and herceptin. I will be getting my zometa treatment next Wednesday and I will tell my nurse about these new symptoms. I am bumbed out to say the least as this possible tumor can be very life-threatening if it gets out of control. Thanks and Bless You. Lu Ann
