Some folks like to keep the darned thing -- On the last day, when they asked me if I wanted mine, I just grimaced and pointed at the wastebasket -- They all just grinned!

One day, after an amifostine treatment and a bad toothbrushing morning, I was feeling a bit nauseated -- I asked the Microwave Room staff what to do in case I barfed and had them take me through a dry run of getting out of the mask, just in case, which made me feel better about the whole process -- Kinda like the reverse of gas mask drill in the service!

They will likely also tattoo a tiny dot on your chest (less pain than a typical injection) as an aiming dot for the process -- One day, I showed up with one of those decal tattoos and gave them all a laugh (I tried to find one with cross-hairs, but no luck).
