Rad to one side of face. 2nd day. No skin symptoms yet.

I asked the nurses but most of them speak poor English and don't understand the questions.

It is recommended to use Aquaphor lotion, shave with an electric shaver and use a humidifier.

Should I start these practices immediately (while there are no symptoms) OR only if/when symptoms occur?


Dx 10/06 Adenoid Cystic carcinoma; Stage I. Soft palate/minor salivary glands.
Tx surgery 11/06 Tomotherapy (targeted IMRT) 3/07
