He'll be starting his third week of radiation tomorrow. I'll tell to go ahead and use the Aquaphor between radiation treatments but to wash it off before treatment. I'll mention he should tell them tomorrow about sores on scalp and to ask if it might be a reaction to meds.
Poor guy has had a rought start. 32 teeth pulled, infection from that, in emergency room because he only had vicodin for pain after all the extractions, a week later more grinding off of jaw bone, dentist said he wouldn't need ANY pain medication from that, of course he did, had reaction to the dye use in CAT scan, couldn't put in the PEG tube the first time, port started shooting blood in the middle of the night, another visit to emergency room, sent his meds to Chicago one time (he lives in Michigan! and this is a CCC. Just a series of bad luck. Sad part is he's just getting going. We know the worst is yet to come. He's really working to keep a good attitude.
