Marica,

I was hoping that the tube would be somewhat larger. I know when the opening is shut and locked behind me that it will be a problem. I first notice the claustrophobia when I had my mask made for the radiation.

I'll make it through. I'll have to be sedated and someone else will have to drive me home.

Let me know how things turn out for your friend.

John
