Hi Carol, here are a few things to try to get to the end of treatment and the months beyond -- have him sleep reclining on a pillow instead of flat on the bed, put a humidifier near the bed and get a Waterpik. Set it on low and use the tongue scraper attachment. Put in a little of the magic mouthwash in the water and have him clean out the gunk before bedtime. Also, do it as often as needed during the day. It clears out the mucous.

My husband has the same diagnosis as yours and he said to me again and again that the Waterpik was really helpful.

If you husband gets very nauseous from the Cisplatin, make sure that you tell the oncologist before the next infusion. They can put in more anti-emetic medication in the infusion as well as give you a prescription for pills that you can take home. Get ahead of the nausea, don't wait till he starts throwing up.

All the very best.
