Me in the LINAC



The radiation therapists were nice enough to take a pix of me in the table before treatment. What happens next is they line my dot tattoos up with laser points coming out of the ceiling. It takes at least as long as the treatment, as it's critical to be zapped in the right place. You lay there unmoving as they push and pull your arms and hips. Then they cover my skin with a clear gel sheet meant to increase my absorbsion of the radiation. They tape it on. And bingo, I'm ready to go.
