Color Me Burned

Today was see-the-doctor-day at the cancer center. He told me that they've been giving me a concentrated dose of the radiation in these last sessions, and that's why the skin on my neck is getting so burned. So, I thought I would take a photo of my neck with my new camera. You can pretty much see the exact line of where the radiation is treating me. He said that it will continue to get more burned. I only have until next Thursday, then I'm done. He advised to keep the area wet with the special burn creams or lotions. I'm using something called Aquaphor, which is kind of like a vaseline type substance.

We went to see Auntie June again today, but this time we brought her lunch and she paid for it as a birthday treat. I couldn't argue her out of that one, bless her heart.
