I have. But not really. 2 were full strength- 2004 and 2008. I ended up with my third major surgery Jan / 22 After that surgery a patoid gland became wildly overactive so the radiation oncologist gave the gland 5 little “love taps” to slow down the saliva.

I still have some saliva which is okay but I am not dripping on the floor every time I bend over!

So I can say I have had 3 masks; 32 scatter radiation in 2004; 30 IMRT other side 2008 and 5 little doses in 2023.
