They gave Dan silver nitrate to put on his neck and throat area after it started bleeding and seeping. I don't know how much it helped then but as soon as the treatments ended, his neck started healing.
Also, Dan lost his voice completely for 6 weeks during treatment. It started coming back within 2 weeks of treatment ending. It was a very hard time, but remember things get better!
Continuing to pray for you and Cathy!
