Radiation measure up

Today was my measure up for radiation. Tattoos done. Practice of deep inspiration completed.

going to use mepitel.

It was very okay. So relieved. 

Start 20/3.

    I had my radiation planning on Monday 19th Feb. I start on March 1 for 6 weeks. My fear of being poisoned has been overcome. I hope my fear of being burned will do the same.
    Good luck to you.

  • It is quite amazing how it is all worked out.  Who ever invented that radiation machine must have been a genius.  My favourite part was the big rope they had attached to the wall to help you sit up if you weren't able to on your own!  Very clever.

    yes. I zoned out. I did square breathing and completely relaxed. My pulse went down to 50. It was about 45 mins for measure up. The bean bag thing was incredibly clever. 
  • I found that day huge, had to lie still for so long. I was busy practicing my meditation so as not to move. The actual treatments seemed a breeze after that. I have read great things about mepitel. 
    Good luck.
