Sandy,
I think the neck burn was also my biggest problem.

Fortunately I didn't have any open wounds from it and as long as I didn't touch it, it didn't hurt.

I tried different lotions, but that messy aquafor seemed to work the best for me.

Post Tx, after a couple weeks, the burn wasn't much of a problem for me, but it took quite a while for it all to fully heal and peel.

Seem like most of us who get Tomotherapy report having a somewhat easier time getting through this.

A couple doctors have told me they find chemo-radiation patients have more throat constriction issues during and following Tx. So that might be something to keep tabs on.

A Kaiser-Permanente swallowing therapist has been working with us at our monthly H&N support group meeting (for patients from all the area CCC's). It is real interested even for those of us who don't have significant issues since it seems we all have some degree of throat constriction.
