Thank you so much for reaching out to me. No he is not okay. The burns have gone down below his clavicle and he still has more treatments. No one in radiology seems to have much knowledge and no experience of a mask reaction only that it looks like it is amplifying the radiated area as well as areas that are not supposed to be radiated. His burns are bleeding and continue to worsen. This radio oncologist has not suggested he stop as yours did. I am concerned this extensive damage will create much worse short term and long term problems and even what is documented as normal.
I feel as if I am at my wits end with this entire radiation process. It is beyond frightening.
