I will!!! Thank you..x

With mine it was around a minute apart from the Friday when it would be around 2 as they took photos, or that's what I was told.

Mine were much longer than that Ron 10/15 minutes each I reckon, are you sure you didn't drop off to sleep?

A bit misleading lol I was only left alone for a minuet or so then, the rest of the time they were setting it up.

I was talking about "alone time" also Ron; ah well just goes to show that each treatment plan is carefully worked out on an individual basis which is all good.

It wasn't very long, I was lucky as they only did from the chin down to cover the lymph nodes as they got good margins on the cancer sight and thought it better to leave it as if needed they could do it at a later date.

I was terribly claustrophobic and also hate laying flat on my back.

The worse time for me was when the machine finished and you heard them coming back in, that few seconds when hearing them and them finally getting to you and taking mask of seemed an eternity.

All my team were great though, I told them I didn't like that part and from then on they were silent coming in and getting to me.

1st sound I heard them make was the unbuckling, they even did it before lowering the table, it made a real big difference.

They also had music playing if you wanted it and would switch it up louder if you asked them

Thank you..all ‘tips’ gratefully accepted!!....I guess as time goes on I’ll get more used to it all..

Very best wishes x
