Well I made it through the first treatment and I can say that this is totally different. They have these Jaws on the culomator and it is computer controlled. It actually is programed to go around the area of the first radiation I had in Oct-Nov 06. The treatment is quite a bit longer as far as time, it shots 4 times on one side then 4 times on the other side. They told me it wuld have very little strength hitting my jaw, which is important to me. My sister had all her teeth pulled on Friday for dentures, and I don't care to go through that. She did not have cancer, just bad teeth. I have great teeth luckily. Anyway the whole thing took about 8 minutes. My last experience took only about 2 minutes. My appitite is healthy and I feel great,I hope this continues. A volunteer at the hospital(whom is in the support group I joined) is really great and the technician trish, is absolutely fantastic. Apparently there are programs that help you out if you need help finantialy. She has already signed me up for help with travel. I have to do something because between now and when social security kicks in, I have no income and in about 2 weeks I will be out of money. I can't work and welfare says I can't have benefits because my 10 yr old truck is too valueable. I did get food stamps though, which will help. My friends and family will help but I can't expect them to carry me. Oh well, maybe I should post to the in treatment forum. See you later all, Tony
