I had the same experience last week. After doing well almost the first two weeks after my first chemo, I came down with the most horrible sore throat last week. After braving it out for three days, I called my GP who prescribed an anti-biotic. I had my regular appt. with the oncologist about two hours later, so informed her about my sore throat and the prescription. They didn't seem too interested in the sore throat. However, for me, it was probably the worst week of my life in the past 30 years. I suspect it was just the beginnings of a normal cold (which I now have), and because my immune system was down, what is normally a one or two day pre-cold sore throad turned into one week. I was FLAT on my back from Tuesday-Sunday. Honestly, the mastectomy was easier than dealing with the sore throat. I encourage you to call either the GP or oncologist -- whoever will respond to you and get some treatment for the sore throat.
I had my second treatment today and so far, all is well. Sore throat is 95% gone and cold is very mild.
