Usually after radiation ends, the next couple or three weeks are the very worst because the rad keep working, but things get better after that and they should for your wife, too! Magic Mouthwash helped my son a lot and later when the MM no longer worked as well he went to an OC mouthwash at Walgreens. Keep updating us and let us know how you both are doing.
