What did you do to help radiation burn?

I am very sorry for your suffering. Do you feel like it is beyond home care at this point? When was the last time the oncologist took a look, and what does he or she mean by"normal" and how long will it take to heal? I assume you had a radiation oncologist, too, who might be good to consult as well. If it is unendurable, I'd consult with your PCP on an emergency basis or go to the ER to get put on a clearer burn care regime. I hope you can get the help you need.

Yes I believe at home care is not working. Just spoke with the on call radiologist- they said to use Hydrogel and it arrive on Sunday and to use it in place of my Silverstat. Apparently my fiancée’s daughter in law used Mepitel throughout her entire Proton Therapy treatment and it’s probably too late to start it. She had her treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN and that at where I had treatment at the MD Proton Center- they haven’t decided on that avenue of treatment. But it works- even for people who have gotten horrible burns from motorcycle accidents!!! It is horrible pain- 😭 I saw my radiation oncologist yesterday and will see her again on Monday…
