So - one less rad treatment to go.

It helped me to psych myself up during radiation sessions when I felt antsy. "My" music really helped. So did telling myself that the mask was not trapping me, it was helping me to hold still so the magic machine could do its job better. For whatever reason, it helped me to keep telling myself that the function was not to hold me prisoner, but to assist me.

I'm on the "Lotion, lotion, lotion" bandwagon, too - and - - - you know this is coming - - - WATER. Do well.
