  • Hello and thanks for posting

    People vary in how long they experience side effects for which makes it difficult to know how long your throat is going to be sore for. But it can take several weeks for this side effect to improve.

    The best thing to do is to contact your hospital team, or maybe you have a head and neck specialist nurse (CNS) who you can advise you further on this.

    Give us a ring if you would like to talk things over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
