Your poor Dad - that sounds really miserable. The only thing I could think of would be a suction tube, but I don't think that woud be feasible by the radiation machine.
My guess is that your Dad is going to hit his stride with this in a week or so and be better able to cope emotionally at least.
Best wishes and thinking of you both!
