The Mask

Today we revisited the Radiation Oncology department for a dry run. They fitted Dean with a plastic net mask of his face and head. It attaches to the table to keep his head from moving while getting the radiation. After a short look at the equipment and explanations, they had me leave the room as another CT scan was to be done, with the mask in place, to pinpoint the tumors on the computer that runs the machine and get it programmed for the real thing starting next week.
