When I was receiving my radiation I felt like a tiny spec in the giant universe. The way they had the grids laid out on the table, and the way that they lined up the laser beams from the machine and the wall with my tatoos gave me great peace of mind that my 'star wars' machine would not be allowed to send forth that tiny but powerful burst of radiation until I was positioned perfectly. In fact, the computerized program sized up my position and actually would not let the session begin until everything was perfect. Red screen ~stop, reposition, green screen ~ go. LOL Cool.
Hardest part, not moving a muscle during the 15-20 second burst. Second most challenging part of the day, it took me longer to find a parking place than the actual radiation session lasted. LOL LOL
Isn't modern medical science fascinating. We are so blessed to be able to experience all of the wonderful innovations available to us now.
Hugs to you Megamind as you venture into the world of "life in the basement', as I called my daily appointments in Oncology Radiation.
Hucc, I would have liked to see a pic of you on that table. LOL When my hubby tried to take a staged pic of me laying on that very narrow bed, our pics didn't turn out, dang.
