First day is now behind me. It was no worse than what I've experienced in the last few days of getting the films made and the mask fitted. Just like the doctor said, you feel absolutely nothing.
The radiation technicians were having some problems with the table and the machine. After I laid down on the table and got all strapped in, it took them about 30 minutes to get everything set up. Once they got things set just right, the radiation part only took about 20 minutes. The bummer was having to lay strapped down to the table for an hour. My head and neck were throbbing and I could hardly wait to get out of that contraption. All in all, it went well. Like I said, you feel nothing and according to the ladies who were administering the radiation, I shouldn't start feeling any of the effects till about the 10th session. So here we are, 1 down, 34 sessions to go.
Not much more to say about the radiation treatment...That's good I guess! I just need to remember to drink lots of water and keep the cream they prescribed me on my neck.
On another note, Marjie and I are in the process of painting the inside of the house. It's starting to look really good, but it sure is a whole lot of work.
That's really all for now.
Check back tomorrow for day 2 update.

Glad to hear the first treatment is behind you, aside from the table issues, sounds like it went well. It must be a relief to have at least one down to know what to expect!
Dave,
Good to hear that things went okay and that the final stage is underway. And it's good to get all that painting done now so when the weather gets nice it's FISH ON!!
I hope the all the rest go as well as the first one, and I hope those Juven shakes taste good too!
KEEP THE FAITH!!

Glad to hear what it was like, watch skin and use the products, also get the work done cause you will get tired easily in a few treatments. Wish I could explain exactly how but it is just different. keep up your spirits, you are on the down hill side! love you
