My sore throat got worse up until about week 5 then just stayed at a (pretty bad) level of soreness after that for a month or two......as Cindy said, there are other things (phlegm and mucositis)that will get worse and make the sore throat seem like old news after a while. Just be sure you have adequate pain meds and take one day at a time.....

I know it's hard hearing things will just keep getting worse, you are about where I was exactly one year ago. The treatment for this disease teaches you the meaning of perseverence in a way you may never have known it before! The good news is that even though treatment takes too long and recovery can seem like it takes forever, it really *does* get better eventually!
