Fused oesophagus after treatment. Has anyone else had this?

Hi, I've been a member here because my son had been diagnosed with tonsil and neck cancer. I've had so much advise and support, but now I'm "asking for a friend". Her husband has recently finished treatment for the same cancer, but the treatment has fused his oesophagus, meaning he has been unable to even sip water. An operation briefly opened it up, but within a few days, it had fused again. Just really looking for any advice from anyone who has been through this problem.
