My total larygectomy and left neck dissection was all done on XRT radiated skin and I had no problem healing. Hope you have the same luck. I will be sending good vibes your way on Wedsneday. Try not to freak out too badly between now and then. Think deep calming breaths on the island.
  Take care, Eileen
