Angelia and Bloop,

I made a science out of observing the machine as it moved around my head. I counted all my breaths when the machine made the humming noise that signaled that the radiation was flowing. I memorized all the small adjustments the machine made. Mostly I did this to keep my mind occupied.

As the sessions moved on I found I was getting a little more comfortable each time. The last few weeks I was actually falling asleep during the sessions.

When my treatment started, I asked the technicians to cut a hole for my mouth and they did. My center also offered warm blankets that they place over you at the start of every treatment.
