Treatment Continues

Nancy and Stephanie check targets and alignment before being sent through the machine for a scan. After the scan results are checked by Dr. Kim, the actual radiation begins. The table rises and the bed is sent into the tube. There is a loud noise, but no feeling of claustrophobia. The treatment takes about 20 minutes from start to finish. Then back to the locker room where I can open my locker and put my own clothes back on. There are treats like rice krispie treats, cheese and crackers, and oreos, as well as energy drinks, water, coffee, and juices in the waiting room for radiation patients, and I always pick up something on my way out.
