Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Thought you might like to see a picture of me during radiation treatment. (attached) I am laying on a form that they made of me from the waist up laying on my back. I am put on this form each time I receive treatment. The machine first shoots me from the left side of my left breast and then moves over me to the right side of my left breast. During treatment I am uncovered from the waist up. I had them cover me for the picture so that you wouldn't have to look at my boobies....although EVERYONE in Nashville has seen them. I am marked with black X's and circles on my left breast and then clear tape was put over the marks so that I can't wash them off. These remain until I finish rads. I also received 3 small dots that were tattooed on and will be permanent. These marks are so that the machine will shoot the exact same area each time. The treatments only take about 10 minutes and are painless. They make me a bit tired but I am used to that!! 4 down and 29 more to go.
