Hi All,

Had my first rad treatment today and all went well. My brother drove me and the nurses let him come into the treatment room while I was lined up and he was able to watch the process from the control room.

After It was completed the rad nurse met with me for 45 minutes and went over everything in detail
with me. The side effects, Pain Med. Oral Hygene etc. She was very thourough. I was impressed. I told her about the website and how I have been educating myself on what to expect. She has been in her job over 20 years.
She told me when and if the pain starts they will react quickly to make sure I don't suffer unneeded
pain. I was much more impressed with her than the rad on'gist. I will meet him every Wednesday if I have any questions. I am scheduled for 30 treatments of 200 rads per session and probavly will have what they called a boost at the end. I'm not sure what that meant other than receiving more treatments than 30? I wore my Oral Cancer
T-Shirt with the dogs on it. She said to expect to start feeling something around two to three weeks. She gave me Biotene samples and a cream to massage on my neck daily. The tech's are great.
The whole process for the rad only took 15 minutes. This is all for now, I want to thank all who have helped educate me in this process. Thanks again, Daniel
