Getting a radiation treatment April 13th 2011

Outside the Cancer ClinicI thought it might be interesting to see what happens when someone has radiation. I took a movie when I went to the treatment today, so it shows what happens while I am in the room. It takes about 9 minutes for the movie to run, but it shows how exacting it is, and how much preparation they do before they actually zap you. ๐Ÿ™‚ I like the way the machine moves. The bed/stretcher I am on swings out sideways as well, when they do the boost radiation treatment.

This movie shows you what happens during a radiation treatment. We are told to not move. Even moving fractionally can mean they have to reset everything or move you back to the original position, so as you can see, I don’t move a muscle. ๐Ÿ™‚ This was taken at Fraser Valley Cancer Clinic
