Radiation

“I was diagnosed with tongue cancer and had 6 weeks of radiation treatment on my head and neck. A friend saw the burns on my neck, so she sent me NeoGenesis Recovery serum. It arrived with a hand-written letter saying that they sympathize and understand what I am going through, and I thought, wow, finally some empathy.

The radiation side effects felt like a really bad sunburn. I started using the Recovery serum halfway through my treatments. I would go in, have the radiation, and go out to my car and apply the serum. By the end of treatment, they told me it would take 4 weeks before the burns and blisters would start to subside, but using the Recovery serum, you couldn’t even tell.

I also had a lot of blisters, open lesions and sores in my mouth making it difficult to talk or eat. My doctor said I would have blisters for about 18 months. After we had our call, I used the paste you sent to help with the lingering sores in my mouth from the radiation. Within 10 days, applying it in the AM and PM, the sores cleared up within 10 days.

I am so grateful for everything that NeoGenesis products continue to do for me. I am always talking about this serum with others who are going through radiation. So many have reached out to me about it.” – Jamie P.

Radiation burns during treatment for tongue cancer can be a challenging and common side effect of radiation therapy. This type of burn is often referred to as an acute burn, meaning it occurs relatively soon after the initiation of radiation treatment. The severity of these burns can range from mild to severe, and they can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life during their course of treatment.

Radiation therapy is a common treatment option for tongue cancer as it targets and kills cancer cells in the affected area. However, because healthy cells surrounding the tumor are also exposed to radiation, they can become damaged and develop into burns. These burns can occur in different areas of the mouth, including the tongue, cheeks, gums, and throat.

Being proactive about skin care during radiation treatment for tongue cancer is essential. NeoGenesis skincare products, Recovery, Barrier Renewal Cream, and Moisturizing Mist are oncology friendly and designed to help alleviate mild to severe skin reactions from radiation treatments. NeoGenesis products contain ingredients that promote restoring the skin from the inside out, which can help to soothe and quell the skin, reducing the appearance of redness and irritation.
