I also have battled sore throats, the lump etc...it finally moved into my chest and they did a spatum culture and found I had two bacterial infections. I was hoarse for over a month and finally went to my family doctor. He gave me a round of antibiotics, and it mostly cleared up, but I feel like it is still lurking in my body. After chemo my throat seems to get sore again and my sinuses act up. He referred me back to oncology for follow up and they do not want to give me a second round of antibiotics, so I try to just make it through it. I am on Abraxane which is similar. I'm hoping that I eventually fight it off and it goes away. I hope your symptoms improve soon too.
