H is at the final 4 days of 2 x daily RT. Neck is burnt badly. Doc has prescribed lidocaine 5%/hydrophor ointment which is really helpful. I found that applying this with a cosmetic sponge instead of my fingertip caused him less pain and it applied more uniformly as i can pat with the sponge. For others new to this, as I am, thought I'd pass that along.
