LOL ! Yeah, everybody has stories about their mask!
I did have them cut the eyes out for me , and that helped a lot.

I have long hair, and it would get caught when they bolted me down. One day I bunched up my hair behind my head - of course, the technicians said No, your mask won't even bolt down if you do that...
Mine was so tight, and it shoved my chin up tight to my face, so I wouldn't open my mouth..
Mine was from top of skull down over my shoulders & chest & came to just above my G tube.
It really covered me.

But oddly, CM, over the days I grew to Like it. Why? Because it felt like at last I was Fighting my cancer. I was actively Doing Something that I knew was killing cancer cells.

That's what I want now-- I want some method to Fight with.

I just relaxed on the table... I can't get up from a totally flat position, easily, because of my neck dissection surgery... I can if I roll to the side first, but then I would have rolled off that narrow metal table there in Radiation. So, because I weighed 69 pounds during my treatments-- my technicians would pick me up in both arms, and lift me off the table.
They worried over me, every day!!

I now weigh a whopping 76.5 pounds!
