The Mask and Radiation

I know it looks a bit like Freddie Kruegar. Today was the first day of Radiation. Yesterday we went to Huntsman so they could make this lovely mask. They need it so that the patient cannot move his head while he gets radiation. They actually attach it to the table while they are doing the radiation and the patient cannot move their head at all. They are very careful about how they position the patient on to the table. Interesting huh? Bruce will go to Huntsman everyday for the next 15 days excluding holidays and weekends for radiation therapy. It only takes about 15 minutes! Not bad! We are confident that it will kill the Cancer that has spread to his brain. Modern science, absolutely amazing!
