I was told to come in to get fitted for "The Mask". I had no idea the terror I was in for! My heart was already beating too fast when I first saw the room for the radiation. Then when the warm mold was placed on my face & all those hands were pressing down at once...my heart was pounding out of my chest! How I wished I was hooked up to an ekg @ that time, the readings would have been off the charts! Anyway...everyday a 1/2 hour before my tx I took a half pill of Adavan. Loved that pill! Ask for it, it helps w/the anxiety (of the whole mask, bolted to the table & rad.) I also had a calender & loved crossing off the completed week of TX. Your soo young to have to go through this, I will pray for you honey. Eat everything your heart desires now, keep a journal (if you can) Most of all..keep your positive outlook! Every am before my TX, my hair was done & full makeup! My mask still has lipstick on it! I always walked in smiling! Best Wishes, Dianne MH
