You should let the manager of your radiation facility know how the first day went. I'm with Gary, I can't imagine having to ask for a pillow. Their lack of attention to comfort and detail simply isn't professional and it would make me question their attention to detail with your treatment. Speak up about these things, it might matter. This treatment is meant to save your life and it is going to be harder on you if you go every day to a group of people that lack compassion. Give me their phone number, I'll give them a call!!
Hang in there,
Minnie
