Had mdt meeting yesterday and once the procedure was discussed I'm happy with it.
I'm a strange creature and need to know exactly what is happening then I'm ok with it. Daft I know .
My oh tried to rationalise things with me which because I'm a very strong headed person didn't go as planned. He looks out for me but not got an easy job.
So rig fitting it is
Hi Abrn
Nothing strange about wanting to know what's happening. I'm exactly the same. I'm medically qualified, though not a doctor, and I understand the lingo. I needed to know exactly what was happening, what my cancer was etc etc.
I researched how a linear accelerator works, how IMRT has revolutionised cancer treatment (though routine proton therapy for our cancers is just round the corner) and the mechanics of treatment. It's one reason I wanted eye holes cut in my mask.
I took great interest in watching the shape of the X-ray beam changing as the machine passed round me.
By the time I was in my last week and in a lot of discomfort I couldn't look at the blasted thing so kept my eyes closed !!! 
The only thing I didn't explore was survival statistics. This was my oncologists advice at the start but a decision I had already made.
Knowledge is power.
Others here have made a point of not wanting any details
We are all different
Good luck and press on.
