Liz,

The best skin burn product by far for me was Silvadine. This was for pretty ugly burning on the right side of my neck and it seemed to do wonders. It was prescribed by my radiation doc.. Has Reg been fitted with a PEG (feeding) tube? This would take care of eating and swallowing problems to a great extent. I found eating/swallowing problems to begin around the 3rd to 4th week of treatment and then started using the tube. Loss of taste began around the end of the 2nd week with first horrible taste sensed being chocolate. It is difficult to address his individual ability to work as his treatment progresses as everyone is affected differently.
