I was fortunate or unfortunate to not have missed any days. I was warned before I started that the machine might break down but other than that my RO told me he did not want me to miss 1 day for illness.

During my last week of rad I was in the hospital due to severe dehydration and nausea and they even nuked me then. They wheeled me down in a wheel chair, nuked me and wheeled me back to my room. And I thought I was there to make me feel better....oh well.
