Thanks Christine. I am getting very good at getting a lot of sleep. The Biafine crust is a little less this morning. And yes Eileen I do notice that my neck scars look better!!
CHARM - I was wondering what type of cream do you put on it after it heals. The nurse said to stick with Lubiderm or Ucerin and of course hihg spf sunscreens.

Last time I had radiation it was a very light dose. I worked through it at a very high stress job that was a minimum of 60 hours a week. Maybe I survived on the stress. I had some redness but nothing severe and I was eating fried chicken right at the end of my treatments. Of course last time the radiation did not stop this new tumor from developing either so I will take the side effects if it keeps this monster out of my life.

Enjoy your day. Has anyone heard anything on Pete? I know that after my surgery they kept me asleep for 8 days so there may not be much news for a bit, but I think of him often and miss his sense of humor.
