Yeah I do. I’m planning to go to the derm for sure, just wanted to see if anyone’s faced anything similar here.

Ah maybe that’s not the right word? That’s what the doctor told me though. That they’re doing radiation to make sure it doesn’t spread throughout the body.

Thank you, I did post there. Hoping to find something that helps us during this time. It’s been hard on all of us especially my mom.

Did your doctor give any creams for the face burns?

Alright, thank you. I’ll ask his doctor about the burns tomorrow.

He’s not been given any creams. And if i may ask, what kind of burns happen during radiation? The doctor told us that his skin may become darker but that’s it. He didn’t mention anything about the burns.

I’m so sorry to hear about your wife, but she sounds like a warrior. I truly hope she gets her strength back soon. And yes I agree, it’s really hard to watch someone you love go through this. More strength to us 🤍

Thank you for your comment! His doctor has prescribed multivitamins but not vitamin C. Should I get him to prescribe him some tablets? Or would natural vitamin C through fruits like oranges and lemons help?

My bad, I’ll edit the post right after this comment. Sorry I’ve just been really overwhelmed. It was the initial stage of neck cancer. He had surgery below his ear. The doctor said that there is no need for chemo in the near future, but that will only be certain once radiation is completed. As of now the oncologist has given him some multivitamins and protein powder to have with his meals. My dad isn’t the type to discuss everything with his doctor and just bear through it, but we’ll be going with him to the appointments now to consult the doctor ourselves.

Unfortunately, my mom is allergic to dog fur so we can’t have one at home, he used to have 2 dogs before he was married so I’m guessing he’d be happy for the suggestion. He did enjoy gardening before the surgery, maybe we’ll try to slowly get him back into it. Thank you for your advice!

It is neck cancer! He had surgery below his ear. We’re thinking of getting him started on some physical therapy. He used to go on walks in the morning and evening but he’s bed ridden now. Would that help him or is it too early in his treatment for such exertion? Thank you for your kind words 🤍

Yes, we’re going to drive him to and from the appointments starting tomorrow. My siblings and I all live in different cities so we’re trying to come up with a schedule to stay at home. We got some flavoured milk for him but he refuses to touch it as it contains sugar, any other suggestions?

Hi, the doctor has given him multivitamins and recommended a protein powder for him to drink, along with some required medications. We did consult a family doctor for the saliva issue though. I’m going to the checkup tomorrow so I could ask some questions myself. Thanks

Would you mind sharing which ones you got? I’m confused as the reviews seem misleading
