line up for the merry go round

I get to try my new mask. Place cut, place cut, until finally a snug fit.

Next the ct scan with the mask so the target area can be identified. The mask keeps the head at exactly the same position so that the radiation points can just be plugged into the position control computer. Press of a button.

Again I get the contrast solution via the canula, I hate that thing. As usual I offered the biggest right hand elbow vein. And what happens, she misses. Now she'll have to fish around the smaller left hand vein. What to do. It ached.

I get a summary from the nurse then I was outta hear.

See ya 29th Dec for the treatment.

mould

7/12/10
Had to get scanned today for the face mask for the radio therapy. Nothing new, maybe third time lucky. This time there was a mouth guard to prevent the tongue from getting fried. Don't like the idea of losing taste again. But it does look like bondage tool. Laser scanned, mouth impressed, blood sample taken, done. See you next week for a CT test.
