Swallowing difficulties can be a challenging side effect that many people experience during breast cancer treatment. Some helpful strategies include taking smaller bites, chewing food thoroughly, sitting upright while eating, and choosing softer textures that are easier to swallow. It's definitely worth discussing this with your care team, as they may have specific recommendations or treatments that can help make eating more comfortable for you.
