Well, the planning and scans went fine. It was not what I expected at all, no stainless steel, no radiation suits, I wasn't strapped down to a sterile operating table. I had to drink barium for the scan, the contrast material provided the flush of warmth through my body. I wasn't too embarassed during the planning stage, the technician worked on me without too much exposure. I am tattooed and ready. Treatments will start sometime next week.
