Angel:

For me the 1st day was the toughest. I kinda freaked out as it took 30 minutes. Then they told me they were also doing XRays. After that it took about 15 minutes except days they did XRays (maybe once a week)They had music and let me bring my own. Also used deep breathing to try and relax and prayed. Sometimes while favorite songs played I went somewhere else in my head for a visit, mini vacation.

My Rad tech were great, they always waited until I was physically and mentally ready before they strapped me in. One day at a time and it will be over.
