My 1st chemo was bad but my second was like "are you kidding me"!!! Aquaphor worked on my neck but I really didn't get the burns until post Tx and they weren't as bad as most.

Just be prepared for some really rough times probably starting right about now. It's pretty normal so don't get paranoid but it can be frightful. Just count the days until about 2 to 3 weeks post Tx when you both can start to breath easy again.
