We went to the "trial run" today for the radiation therapy. We thought that the pictures would help express how claustrophobic the mask makes Marc feel. The pictures displayed are: positioning Marc on the CT table, placing the mask and securing it to the table for the radiation treatment and a post-treatment picture showing the mesh indentations on Marc's face.He did well today for the trial run. He was a little anxious at first but settled down and was able to tolerate the entire procedure without difficulty. We go back every weekday now for 7 weeks (with the exception of holidays). Tomorrow will be the true test as the treatments will last 20 minutes, that's a long time to lie there with that Mask on his face. Marc is strong and determined so I have no doubt that he will make it through the treatments without further problems.
I'll post more next week after a few treatments . . .
