Hi! I have been checking the forum every day. My dad has 8 rads to go!!! We are both shocked that with the IMRT both sides of his neck are blistered, weeping and well...very burned! The RAD ONC gave us Silvidine, it feels soothing to him. We have Telfa pads on the sores. The Onc and ENT said: "This is great, can't even feel/see anything anymore". He's tolerating his tube feedings. He is overly exhausted-the ONC wants to go ahead with a full dose of his last chemo next week. I am so tentative about feeling elated that we're almost done, just because of that fear. How long after rad does it take the neck skin to "Heal"?
Curious and almost DONE!!
