Hi Hayley!

I have been following your blog... so glad you are almost done with treatments. Dad's neck was pretty red, peeling and sore. He slathered it with the lotions and it did get better pretty quickly. It just looks tan now. He was pretty tired for a good 2 weeks after the treatments ended. But he is slowly getting better. His main problem is gaining weight, but doesn't sound like you have that. Hang in there, it WILL get better. You have such a strong support group! Keep us posted! smile
