Sore throat during chemo

I have Tcel non Hodgkin lymphoma and have had my second chemo a week ago.   I think I might be starting with a cold and sore throat do I need to go to my haematology clinic to tell them.

  • Hi Nannypen

    It might be a good idea to talk to your oncologist  or cancer care/ chemotherapy team and tell them how your feeling.

    I know when I had chemotherapy for breast cancer I too did experience a sore throat and sore mouth ,ulcers. But I was given a mouth wash when I started my chemotherapy, as with the kinda chemotherapy I was having it was a side effect that could occur so was given it  just in case.  Not everyone gets the same side effects,what one person gets  it doesn't mean that you will,and vice versa. But as I said it would probably be good to seek out advice. I do hope this sore throat subsides and you  get some help and advice once you've spoken about it. Good luck .

  • Thanks for your help.   I hadn’t thought about my sore mouth going down to my throat just about my Grandson who has a cold!  
    I will take your advice and see how it goes before ringing as it doesn’t seem so bad this morning.  Hope you are going on well.  

  • I'm OK thank you. Glad I could help.
