Only slight sunburn feeling more so on sensitive areas like neck, upper back and upper chest. I guess that was because I shaved regularly before the radiation resulting in that area not being sensitive. I didn’t ask for any remedy/lotion questions to my doctors at the time. I wouldn’t take it upon myself to guess what kind of lotion would help because you need to avoid chemicals/ingredients to avoid irritation. Regarding food I remember no citrus, strawberries, spice. It was recommended to do bland non-chewing foods that go down easily. Lots of ice cream type smoothies. Ask your food questions to a nutritionist that is connected to your care team. They will give you advice that is complete. You need high calorie foods. Best to you! 🙏

@eachdayblessed My burning sensation was from radiation not the surgery. The surgery caused numbness on my facial right side, right neck area and right shoulder. My surgery was a right side neck dissection.

@eachdayblessed Thank you
