My signifcant other has 2 more radiation treatments to go. How long does it take for the burns on the neck to heal? I demanded Biafine, after much research. Aquaphor seemed to help some too. Silver sulphdine can be used too only after treatment. He was pretty lucky, only lost 5lbs. I on the other hand as a caregiver have lost 15lbs. and many hours of sleep. At 3 weeks the sore throat set in. I made him drink Aloe Vera juice 4x per day, which helped alot.
Appetite never went away. I guess he was fortunate in what he endured. He always says "this is a piece of cake". He's a tuff, old fart, cowboy. This website has provided so much helpful insite into this horrible disease. I will be constantly reading it, and thinking of everyone out there.
