I have a question about something the RO brought up. She said that if you lose to much weight the mask won't fit tightly enough. By what I've read it seems that everyone loses weight and some people extreme amounts. Don't they have a mechanism for tightening the mask down more? They must be able to adjust it somehow. That took me by surprise because Richard lost a few pounds from being so sick. He's eating a lot more and feeling better. Thank goodness he put on some extra weight before starting treatment.
When they weighed him at the first radiation consultation, he had heavy hiking boots on, a huge set of keys, wallet, cell phone, etc. Typical man! It's just the opposite for women. We take as much off as possible before being weighed. So they are going on the heaviest weight. When they weighed him on Thursday, he had none of that stuff in his pockets and had been sick, so was down a few pounds. I'm just so paranoid about the least little thing and I'm so thankful that one week has already passed. Thanks for any feedback. Geri
