I'm sorry you are suffering with this too. I had the mouth sores & raw throat my first 2 treatments (A/C). The chemo kills the fast growing cells and unfortunately our mouths, throat & stomachs are all part of that group.
I was given a lidocaine mix (had something for my stomach as well) Anyway, it seemed to work and the remaining treatments I did not have this reaction. Someone also recommended slippery elm for my throat but never got around to trying it, maybe someone here has tried it.
Take Care.
