Let me clarify my last post: it was your comment that the article read like a tabloid that I thought was insightful, not the article itself. Since you just joined the forum less than two months ago, you may have missed all the posts from patients who were very upset with the mechanics of the mask fitting. I believe they would have found your description of the mask fitting as overly dismissive of their feelings. The tabloid version, scary as it was, comports with their experience. Their reality was far different from mine. Bear in mind this guy was severely traumatized by the mask fitting and radiation treatments to the point that he can no longer work under his car, so I think it's understandable that his wife conveyed that in her article.
It's not a question of "better", more of a issue of wildly varied experiences. Personally I did not find any of the TX frightening but rather annoying.
