yes no more cleaning/brushing/scraping the tongue!! and make sure the doc knows about this before more radiation is done, as open bleeding areas can become infected very easily and sometimes they opt to postpone/suspend radiation treatments till bleeding stops. I had to for a few days cuz my tongue was bleeding from the sores being so bad.
