Hi there, the heat pack heats up the tumour when placed over it, my neck is the problem, so then the drug is attracted to the hot spot, same as sucking ice stops drug giving mouth ulcers with 5FU, haven't quite gone into the mechanics of it yet, but I believe it did reduce some of the swelling in my neck with treatment last Thursday, I am continually feeling my neck and it did feel smaller. Problem was that the heat pack didn't stay hot for long and I didn't want to hassle the nurse so I will take my own small hot water bottle this week.
