I am doing fine except I have broken capilliaries all over my neck as a result of the radiation. I was told that this was atypical. I am very self-conscious. I had a few laser treatments (which were very painful), but the results were minimal. I live in NYC. Let me know if you had a similar experience (broken capillaries) and if you had laser treatment. Thank you.
