I see that you are in NYC- not sure of you are being treated at Sloan, but the second floor nurses there sprayed my mouth out everyday during treatment & a couple times a week after treatment for about a month.  It felt so good.   As the sores diminished, I was able to use the dab on lidocaine to get by & eat (soft, wet stuff) more comfortably.   I wish you a quick recovery-- that 1-1 1/2 mos post treatment were so tough- but you will get more comfortable!!
  All my best! Sally
