Definitely a bad fairy if she exists.

I'm interested in any answers anyone has to where all the mucous comes from. There certianly seems to be no end to it at times. At a full four weeks past radiation, I am FINALLY noticing a decrease in the phlegm (not that it has totally stopped at all, just that it's not constant 24-hr a day spitting it out all the time)

My radiation burn on my neck was never extremely painful although the entire burned area did get very inflamed right after the end of rad and I ended up in the hosptial with a fever from "cellulitis" on my neck ( also had a very low white blood cell count which may have contributed to the high fever). They gave me an excellent burn cream while I was there but I don't know if it would sting because I didn't really have open painful sores--at the point when I got it I just had very red inflamed skin that ended up peeling off after I used teh cream for a couple of days. If you want the name of the cream, i can try to dig it out and find it.
