Radiation Simulation

Today, Wednesday March 25th, mom went out to the Cancer Center for a simulation. It was a very quick and simple procedure. They found the headrest that was the most comfortable while still put her head at the correct angle, pulled her shoulders down using restraints, molded the mask (which I found fascinating), did a CT Scan and sent her on her way. The tour consisted of the dressing rooms and waiting rooms. This was not very exciting for Rachel and Leah who spent most of the time sitting in the waiting room, just to see two areas. We were all hoping to see the actual equipment, but it appears that only mom gets to see that. There is a DVD at mom's house for anyone to see which explains the treatment, equipment and facility.

Still waiting to schedule the PET Scan and Medical Oncology consultation.

  1. Bummer that you didn't get to see the equipment today. It is pretty cool, when I did my simulation, Russ got to walk through it all with me. The machine is just like on the dvd though. Talk soon! ~ Karen
