I located a SpongeBob Squarepants child's toothbrush that was soft and small enough for my husband to use. I believe the other choice was Sleeping Beauty. Bob's smiling yellow face added a bit of cheer to the bathroom. I believe that he also used some actual sponge mouth cleaners as things got more problematic. Please don't rip up your mouth cleaning it overly enthusiastically.
Don't be shy about discussing all / any issues with your RO / ENT or their nurses.
I am glad that you are getting the second Cisplatin in. Staying as close to schedule as possible with the rads and chemo increases your chances for a cure.
All my best to you and others in treatment!
