Radiation

This is the radiation room - I lay on the table with my arms folded back above my head (in the stirrup things), the table slides back under the machine and up closer to it. It starts in this position, pointing straight down, it runs twice for about 10 seconds each. The whole machine rotates clockwise to about 2:00, runs for maybe 15 seconds, then rotates back and goes to about the 8:00 position and runs again for another 15 seconds. They lay brass mesh over the treatment area for the last two zaps (it helps bring the radiation to the surface of my body where my lymph nodes are). The whole thing takes only minutes. I feel absolutely nothing and haven't felt any side affects yet. Fatigue and a burn similar to a sunburn are the most common side affects and will build over time. I finished my first of 6 weeks of daily treatments.
