Just had day 19 out of 35 in radio, and my radiologist's registrar was concerned about my neck. So am I of course.
Has anyone else out there had brown spots on their neck, mostly on the dissected side, gradually lessening towards the uncut side? I look like a ripening banana, especially with the lovely curved, slightly bulging scar! Are they like freckles, and will they go away?
Cheers!

It eventually wore off, and probably was all gone six to nine months post rad. Kind of ironic to get a tan when you are supposed to keep your radiated parts OUT of the sun. I was really glad when my brown spots were finally gone, as I thought everyone who saw me wondered why that woman never washed her dirty neck. Just another small side effect of radiation. Hang in there! | | |
