You never know the unusual angles they could zap someone from the top of their head down ending someplace other than their head. I figured I would throw that idea out there and see what others would say. I really think it could be related to how the patient is placed on that tiny little table. I know I was very uncomfortable and it bothered my back a great deal.
PJ... It can take a full 2 years for a person to fully recover from something as traumatic as chemo and radiation. Your body has been thru the war and rebuilding it is a long process.
I wish you all the best. Please let us know what your doc says net week about your back.
Be well!!!!
