Like Vicki said, you just do what you gotta do! For me I listened to music fairly loud, didn't really matter much what. It made the time go quickly most of the time. The first week we tried Amofostine, which did not go well at all. I threw up 2 different times that week during radiation! You've never seen rad techs move so fast to get that mask off & my face in a bucket!! They really cared & probably weren't all that excited about the thought of a puke sprinkler in the rad room!! HaHa!! Tell Tom he can do it!
