How tight is too tight? Could they have made a mistake fitting the radiation mask? These were her comments after the dry run:

- the mask was very tight. she had deep impressions from the grid of the mask. She was told to abstain from drinking water before the mask fitting procedure. Is it possible that with her now hydrated + the mask shrinkage it is improperly sized? she notes that they had a very hard time fitting her when the mask was made, and that the technicians had a hard time getting her in the correct position yesterday.

- she feels like it's changing the shape of her nose. Lot's of pressure on the left side.

- neck felt "torqued" and out of alignment during the procedure. She had neck pain for about 2 hours after the procedure.

Any suggestions? I sent the comments above to the doctor for his feedback, but I wanted to hear from others in the trenches.
