Is this really me?




My Radiation Oncologist was nice enough to let me have some images from my treatment. This is a computer generated recreation of my body based on a CT SCAN. The green lines are the laser points where radiation is aimed. You can see my lungs sticking out of my torso. Pretty incredible. As I said to my Radiation Onc, it would be cooler if it wasn't me. But it is me. And seeing this image actually made me feel a little better about the treatment. Like they might actually know what their doing and their not just blasting me with radiation. Thanks Dr. P.
