The radiation machines can move all kinds of ways to get the best position for your treatments. Im guessing laying on half of a 45 degree angle (22.5 degree angle) would be easier on you than the regular conventional table position.
PS... Marv, I dont always comment on your posts but I do read every single one of them. I marvel at your ability to face head-on everything you are dealing with no matter what gets thrown at you. Most people wouldnt be able to handle even half as much as you. I greatly admire your courageousness and perseverance!
