Yesterday was a busy one for myself. Off I went to the mould room in the Beatsons Cancer Unit in Glasgow for a 11.30am appointment. I arrived early as parking was meant to be horrendous, and it was!! No-one mentioned how tight the radiation mask is btw! That was a wee bit of a surprise, but I quickly got used to it. I asked about cutting holes for the eyes, but they said that they would much prefer not to unless I REALLY wanted too.
At 12pm it was then the simulator CT scan, complete with eyeless mask. All went well, including the weird feeling when the dye was inserted. A few minor adjustments then I’m good to start RT at the end of the month.
At 1pm it was a meeting with my Oncologist to discuss the acceptance into the immunisation clinical trial, Compare. The Oncologist was running late and I eventually left the Beatsons at 2.45pm after much form filling and detailed conversations re the trial.
i would like to thank all the Team in the Beatsons for being so kind and helpful with me. 
It was then onto the Glasgow Dental Hospital to check a possible abscess I thought I had after getting 3 molars removed on Monday morning as a preventative measure against ORN that may occur due to the RT.( Google it) I left there at half 4 and straight home for my dinner. I hadn’t eaten all day!
That’s me now sorta ready for the 7 weeks RT & 3 chemo sessions. Only some blood tests and ECG’s to go for the Immunisation Trial & I’m good to go.
Let’s get this cancer beaten!! 
Thanks for the update Frank. Stick with it. You'll get there. Another forum member here had the same treatment as you and within the year he is on his bike and walking the hills.
Best wishes

Absolutely no hassle at all. 1 hour on the drip and no side effects (atm) whatsoever. Here’s hoping I can avoid most of the worst side effects during the chemo radiation
