@MicheleR it always makes me mad and sad in equal measure when I hear of stories like yours.
Undertaking wound care should be considered part of your ongoing treatment, as the wounds are a direct result of your treatment. Rad Onc nurses should be specialists in that area but too often I hear of people having to work it out for themselves
My radiation burns weren't severe but I believe that once they start to heal it happens quickly
Take care
