Make sure it stays dry at all times, paint some straight Daconil on it, and put Captan on after that dries. You should be fine.

As long as it doesn't open up to the cavity you should be OK.

its rare to blow a blossom this late in the season. the sapping is normal on a fruit at this stage.
just dont let the soil dry out because should it rain on top of dry soil a growth spurt could do it in.
