Thanks for letting us know how it went for ya. I do remember the setup with the mask and xrays took a while but the treatments were quick.

Too bad about the attitude there, the people working where I had it done where really nice and I thoroughly enjoyed going in for my radiation sessions.

Will go out and kiss my little ass goodnight now (jackass I mean of course!)

Goodnight! Bruce

Hi Bruce – just switched on. Thanks for your message. Well I had my mask made. It fit my whole face. I looked like I had fencing gear on. You know, the thing I hate about these appointments is the waits. After my mask was made there was a one and a half hour wait to go into radiation. You are right Bruce, I did realize that the others were being treated for cancer and felt lucky that I was not having radiation for that. The measuring and everything all took quite a while today but for the next nine treatments it should be quicker – never knowing about the wait! One thing I get very upset about is Doctors attitudes. I felt like a number. I had seen this Doctor before had to give him all the meds I was on. Since I have been put on Predisnone. I thought I should tell him. He says – “Well that’s up to you – it didn’t do any good last time did it?”. I guess he was referring to the fact that I had intravenous steroids. He must have seen ii in my records. He didn’t explain. I am also on the Prednisone because my Graves Eye Specialist recommended it. Who do we believe! There were a few other comments that upset me also. Sometimes I come out of these appointments very angry – any I am basically a happy, friendly person. I guess it is just all getting to me. My treatments won’t be over for three weeks because this Friday they are closed as they are getting new machinery and next week is Easter taking up another three days. Oh well – let’s hope it all does some good. I’m fine and just going to sit back and watch our Canadians in the Worlds in Switzerland. For most of you it’s nearly midnight so I hope you all gave a good day tomorrow – stay cheerful and take care – bye Bruce – say goodnight to your new little bundle of joy! SAS
