Back in the dark ages, we all got XRT, although considering mine was an unknown primary, I probably would still get XRT. I was just finishing rads about the time Brian was starting his. All I remember is being strapped to the table in that horrible mask and this big-ass machine rotating from side to side over my head. Fortunately sessions were only 5-10 minutes except for simulations or I would have never been able to do it.
Take care,
Eileen
