I don't understand the no mask part. I had XRT to the neck and head and had a mask. Mine was an unknown primary so they fried everything. My neck did burn at the end, but Biafine cleared that up after a few days. I also had a friend whose breast cancer mets went to the neck. They did biopsy hers and she was a smoker. Good for you for being such a good friend. Sounds like with this doc she is going to need one.
Take care,
Eileen
