My husbands throat did get sorer into his fourth week, but thats the easier of the side effects to control. Make sure he has adequate pain meds. It makes all the difference, the amounts need to go up as time goes on. My husband is on treatment #31 with 23 treatments left. Right now he is taking 2 tsp. Roxicet every 4 hours and he has a 25 mg fentanol patch. This is managing his pain for now altough we'll probably have to add another 25.mg patch by next week. Its the mucous and the mucositis that get worse as you go. If you ever need any advice just write. This is the best support group... Good Luck Cindy
