I would like some advice please. I have been diagnosed with 2 types of throat cancer at a level of T4 NI MO. have not yet started treatment (4-6 weeks)
I have a cronic sore throat can anyone advise on something to calm it down? thank you
Hi John. Welcome to our community but sorry to see you here.
A lot if us are prescribed Difflam for throat pain. You could try that.
So many of us have complications from reflux which is common. I found Gaviscon Advance a great help.
Pain from cancer is difficult to treat with over the counter medication. Once diagnosed you should have a nominated Clinical Nurse Specialist well versed in treating cancer patients. Contact them for something stronger. I was on prescription strength cocodomol then morphine.
There’s no need to suffer while you wait.
Stick around. There’s lots of help here.

Lay it on thick. They should at least give you cocodomol.
