I am sorry you are having pain. Mouth and throat issues are on the side effect list for Navelbine. By all means report the problem to your oncologist. You might want to see an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) doctor if your oncologist can't help you with this problem.
I think Navelbine was originally developed for lung cancer, but it can effectively be used for breast cancer. The side effects are supposed to be less intense than some other breast cancer drugs and it is considered to be well tolerated most of the time. Of course each person may experience something different with a drug.
Good luck with the side effects. Take good care of yourself.
