i dont know of anyone that was able to work all thru radiation treatment. andy stopped working after his 2nd round of chemo due to the nature of his job. so he was already off when radiation started. this was a blessing since it zaps your energy.
he was not able to speak about his 5th week until about 1 week post treatment.
his burns were like a severe sunburn that covered his face and neck...with the neck being the worst. he is 3 weeks post, and is still red and scabby.
