Oh!!!!
Now I understand what you mean. Yeah, at the end mine was done like that. What I noticed was that I was on the table for about 20 or 25 minutes instead of 10. I asked the tech and they said it was a more direct concentration. It was focused right on the spots where my cancer sores were in my mouth. If I remember correctly, it was only about the last 5 that were like that.
If you are struglling with paying, all large facilities have a finacial aid dept. They may help with your charges. I know someone indirectly who works in the financial dept of the hospital and they write off thousands in bills everyday. Also call the American Cancer Society, they may help you with the cost of medicines or even to help you cover the cost of transportation to tx. There are many things available to you if you know where to look.
