Went today to do a trial run for my radiation treatment. I laid on this table with my arms over my head for a good 30 minutes. The tech took like 6 x-rays. In between the films she mark me with a permenet marker and took measurements where they are going to do. On my right side I now have beside the 3 tattoos I have draw in blue lines from my collar bone down the center of my chest off to my side up my side under my right arm pit. Now keep in mind this is done with a blue permenet marker. Then on each corner they put that good tape so if the blue lines come off they would still know where to hit with radiation. The tech did say try not to wash off the blue lines except I could wash off the one above my coller bone so that when I wear my blouse I want be self conscience does it really matter if I am. The blue marks don't measure up to having your breast remove. Now tomorrow I will get the first shot done. And then after that Monday thru Friday at 11:15 every day until I have done all 33 treatments.
What a experience!
