Is this the first your husband has had any sores in the area that was radiated? During rads did he have a "sunburned" area? I had many sores on my neck from rads. I remember for me, the sunburn started after a few weeks into rads. At first my skin looked a little red but by the end of rads, the red area became open oozing sores. It took weeks after finishing rads before my neck healed. What your husband has does not sound anything like what I had, which unfortunately was one of the many side effects from radiation. If you are anywhere around my area (Eastern PA), we've had a heat wave recently its been in the 90s, could it have anything to do with that? I suggest taking him to your family doctor next week. Never know, it could be unrelated to rads? You may want to move up his June 5th appointment if the family doc isnt able to help. Being 5 weeks post rads, your husband should start feeling a little better without things like this happening.

Keep us posted as to what exactly he has going on.

Good luck!!!
