Radiation Photos 7/15/11

Hello Everyone!!,

After today, one week of 6 weeks will be completed for my radiation treatments. Time just keeps flying by. For that I am thankful. The treatments so far have not been bad at all. Radiation lasts for only about 15 minutes from the time I walk in to the time I walk out. I have not had any side affects from either treatment so far, I am hoping and praying it stays that way. I have to send another thank you to Candace and my mom for being my taxi service through this week. Without their help I couldn't go anywhere. I have still not been cleared to drive yet. I go next Thursday to an appointment with my surgeon for my 6 week check up. He wants me to go to an optomologist to check and see if my vision is good before they clear me to drive. I am ready to get back doing my normal routine.

I had my weekly check up with my Radio Oncologist and everything is going well. There is no doubt in my mind that I can beat this stuff.

I have enclosed a few pictures of my radiation treatment and mask that I wear. I have had several questions of what my mask looks like and I figure the best way to show every one is through a picture.

The table I am laying on rotates and goes up and down along with the big machine above my head. They rotate the table four times and after each rotation they cook my head for a few minutes.

Here is the mask that keeps my head locked down to the table.
