Hi Michael. Should be fairly easy for the first two weeks and you have only one week after that. My RT was stopped over Christmas and Boxing Day so I had an extra one on a Sunday. Some people get two in one day to make up. You have to have a gap of a good few hours so you generally go first and last.
keep your neck moisturised and you shouldn’t even burn.
good luck for the rest
