Community Member
21 days agoGood Morning I was diagnose with colon cancer in sept 2023. I started my chemo therapy in January 2024 and started doing the chemo pills for about 3 months. Then in 2025 my ct scan showed up with some cancer cells was under my left collar bone so I start chemo therapy again. The question I have to asked have anyone experience having a sore throat after having treatment on a regular.

Sore throat can indeed be a side effect of certain chemotherapy treatments, and it's something that many cancer patients experience during their treatment journey. This symptom is worth discussing with your oncology team, as they can provide specific guidance about managing throat discomfort and determine if any adjustments to your care plan might help. Others in this community may have helpful experiences to share about what brought them relief during treatment.
