Just want to echo what MyTurn said -- radiation is a very localized treatment, so (with the exception of fatigue), the side effects are only to the area being radiated. You should have no problems eating or swallowing, since none of your eating/swallowing "equipment" will be receiving radiation.
During rads, I shared the waiting room with other patients who were having radiation for head/neck cancers, esophageal cancer, and breast cancer. We breast cancer people couldn't believe what the others were going through -- our side effects were nothing compared with theirs.
