I spent another two hours with the radiation team at the cancer center this morning. We did the sedative again because today was the big day - try and form the mask plastic around my head, neck and shoulders. Thankfully, with the sedative strong enough to knock out a moose, I was able to lay flat and allow them to form the damn think about me. Once it was formed, it had to be left in place over me 15 minutes to harden. The team was wise enough to very quickly cut out eye holes as soon as the plastic mesh material was over my head....that probably saved me from going banadas and destroying all that expensive gear trying to get up and out of that room!
Of course, tonight, after getting that sedative out of my system, I had to check with Lieska to see how much fun I had. She says things went pretty good, nobody got hurt and the mask-making work is complete.
Next radiation stop.....the real deal. We still start my first radiation treatment December 15. Apparently, cancer does not take time out for Christmas and New Year. No surprise there...sigh.
