2 down, 33 to go - No, I won't report on every treatment unless I have something to say. Today the mask was a noticeably tighter fit. RT said sometimes we do get swelling.

She also asked if I was using fluoride trays (I am) as she says most/many opt for teeth removal prior to rads. That surprised me a little. She didn't qualify it in any way, such as for people who have lots of dental problems.

Oh well, tight mask was tolerable, we'll face tomorrow ... tomorrow.

Still hangin in (a good mental place)
Still hangin out (doing what pleases me, today bridge)
Still hangin around (happy to be alive, I will not go quietly into that good night).
