My brother had his pick in today and had his first radiation and chemo. When he was at chemo they asked him why he was having radation first in the morning and then chemo afterwards. They said it was usually the other way around. That concerned him and couldn't find anyone to answer why that was. He wanted me to ask you all what you think. Why do you think they would do that? They also gave him a fanny pack type unit that feeds chemo 24 hours a day. Has anyone else had that? I sent him all the items that have been mentioned on this website. They told him to only use ivory soap when washing, no aquaphor on his neck when it starts to burn and scab up. I told him that was fine. Whatever they recommend we would get for him.
Thanks for your suggestions. I told him I would call him tomorrow with your ideas. My brother is at the Ann Arbor VA in Michigan.
