The answer is fairly simple. The last week is a BITCH AND A HALF and he needs to finish. He also needs to speak up regarding his medications. Magic Mouthwash is a topical solution that will numb the inside of his mouth. The doctors can provide morphine, fentanol, oxycodone and a list of other pain medications to help him finish.

Getting this far and stopping is foolish. There are three women on this site right now at his stage, hating every minute of it and powering through so you can bang on his male pride and tell him the ladies have more testosterone then he does.

Go ahead and visit the doctor with him and find out what the can do to make him more comfortable, but make sure he finishes his treatment.
