CM57,

I’m sorry I forgot to mention this. When you put cream on your neck after radiation, make sure you pay special attention to the folds in the skin. I was only told this by the RO at my husband’s second last treatment session. The RO said there would be skin breakdown “especially where there are folds in the skin” (like the lines that are formed where we bend our necks). That was after I spent 6 weeks giving John saline soaks and making sure the sores did get too bad. I felt kind of let down.
