I still remember my last radiation session. They gave me my mask (which I still have and use every time I speak about Oral Cancer) and I felt as if I had graduated from some Saw VIII Prep Camp. I didn't have the benefit of this site so I thought the worst was over. Yeah right! Even though the next few weeks may be your worst yet at least you are mentally prepared.

Congrats on this milestone!!
