Throat-related side effects can occur during myeloma treatment. Some patients experience mouth and throat discomfort, including inflammation of the mouth linings (mucositis), which can affect the throat area. These symptoms may appear during treatment or develop months later.

It's important to communicate any new symptoms with your husband's healthcare team, as they can provide specific guidance for managing throat discomfort while on dexamethasone and during radiation treatment. Radiation therapy, which your husband will be starting soon, can sometimes cause additional side effects including:
• Tiredness
• Skin problems
• Digestive issues

Before starting radiation, discuss potential side effects with his oncologist so you know what to expect and have a plan to manage any symptoms that develop.
