Hi everyone , on Monday I had my Mask fitting along with a CT scan was an unusual experience all clever stuff , although I felt bit anxious it wasn't to bad but certainly helps if you can totally relax when process of moulding is being done as its clipped down on to hard surface that your laying on so you cannot move , felt a bit suppressive (maybe just my nerves?) staff were kind. and reassuring took around 30-40 mins . After all done had CT with new mask on , was ok and apparently is a similar procedure to go through when Radiotherapy starts ? My 6week treatment Radio/Chemo plan has been set for middle of February , so another step forward . Regards Ken
Well you sound on top of it. Onwards and forwards.

I had the tattoo, they didn't warn me it was coming so a bit of a shock to the system at the time.
Ozzer that's the longest period of time you'll ever have to wear the mask for so as you coped with that the RT sessions will be easy.
