Thanks for the input Gary and Mike. The RO has assured us that everything is on track and did explain to us yesterday afternoon (when we went back up for the films and treatment following the CT's that were done that morning)what the remaining treatments would entail. It sounds similar to what you received, Mike, having an unknown primary as well. And I think the tech's statement did have something to do with her reading that there was one more day left on the first segment, according to what the RO told us, at which point they reached the maximum dose that the spinal cord can tolerate, and then changed the angle. So I guess that makes sense. I still can't shake the reappearing nervousness though, and I had actually managed to calm myself down after about the third week. Maybe I'm imagining it, but the techs seem to be going out of their way now to let us know every little thing they are doing, if they are running behind, they come out and let us know how much longer, it is almost making me a little uneasy, as if they have done something wrong and are trying to make up for it. Does that sound paranoid? If so, someone tell me to get over it! Has anyone else had that kind of panic set in about halfway through? I will tell my husband to make sure he sees his name on the monitor - thanks for pointing that out, Gary, although we should have thought of that before.

Thanks everyone for your help.
