Had the planning session for my radiation treatment today. It involves fitting a sort of plastic mesh mask over your face and neck. It's put on warm, fitted snugly, then cooled off and removed. Based on the scan, they mark on the mask where the radiation is to be directed. The other function of the mask is to keep your head immobile when they're doing the treatment. I go back next Monday for a final check, then daily for ten radiation treatments.
Also got a new harder neck collar today which provides more support for my neck. Feel a bit like a turtle, but without the ability to retract my head. Harvey, having almost adjusted to the no hair look, is once again adjusting to this new look.
