Hi Wendy--
hang in there.. rest, drink, rest, drink, rest, drink....
this is the time for you to dedicate to this process( not easy at all!!) and do whatever you must do to keep up your calories, rest up, and find some joy in each day.


My husband did not feel the more dramatic effects of RADS until about the 2 week mark and at the point he did notice it. He used a clay heat/ice pack ALOT everyday from that day forward; moderating the heat vs ice depending on what felt better for him for the remainder of the many weeks to come.

you may find that helpful with the tingling you are experiencing

to be cautious though, the skin that is being irradiated will become tender and fragile. So, if you use ice packs of any kind, it must be covered with protective soft non adhesive material.. the clay packs worked well for him as it is freezer friendly or microwaveable with a soft cloth coating and a Velcro strip. he literally would wrap it around his neck and secure it with the Velcro sort of like a neck brace.

sending you strength and good energy as you go through your treatment.
