We have used duct tape in a pinch:) Liquid bandage too, but no super glue.
It's generally the tips of his fingers, sometimes knuckle too.
From the beginning Doug has had the worst of the worse side effects in everything!
The allergic reaction to the Ethyol in the first months of radiation were just awful. He almost died twice, his oncologist never thinking the first time around that thy Ethyol shots were causing the problem. It caused quite a stir at the CC.
Since then, you name the side effect, and my husbands had it.
It breaks my heart what he has been through, what so many of you have been through.

Cheryl you mentioned fissures, he has one of those in his neck too. Lymphatic fluid builds up so bad in his jaw, a fissure opens up from the pressure.
Did I mention bed sores? Yep those too, been fighting them for 6 months now, and they just won't heal, and yes we are seeing a would care doctor.

Such an awful ugly disease!
