During treatment I was fortunate not have been impacted that badly by radiation burns. It was really only in the final two week "boost" part of the treatment that I got very localized burning at the entry points below my ears on my neck.

Now during my first week of NOT getting radiation, the burns seem to be spreading across my whole neck. Is this post-treatment burning something others have seen?
