it's ten days since your original post and inquiring minds want to know if you took your final 2 radiations. The bleeding neck and oozing dead skin sticking to gauze on the neck sounds very familiar to me. It's not too late to get some relief. The only thing that worked for me at the end was Vigilon which is a hydrogel dressing. Turns our you do not even need a prescription, just buy it from any medical supply store (i used our local yellow pages, first time in years instead of the internet). Here is techie info on Vigilon and two similar items.

Hydrogel dressings are cross-linked polymer gels that are often shaped into sheets to provide and maintain a moist wound environment. By increasing moisture content, hydrogels have the ability to help cleans and debride necrotic tissue. Hydrogels are non-adherent and can be removed without trauma to the wound. Additionally, hydrogel dressing have a soothing effect that promotes patient acceptance. It�s important to keep in mind though that hydrogel dressings are not very absorptive, and therefore may not be the appropriate choice for moderate to highly exudating wounds. Hydrogel dressings often require secondary dressings for this reason. Hydrogel dressings can be shaped into gauze, sheets, or filler material.

Three vendors who offer hydrogel dressing material are 3M�, who offers the 3M Tegagel� Hydrogel Wound Filler and the 3M Tegagel Hydrogel Wound Filler with Gauze, Bard Medical, who offers the Vigilon Primary Wound Dressing, and Smith and Nephew, who offers the FlexiGel Strands� Absorbent Wound Dressing.
