Jason has completed 3 radiation treatments. At the first one I almost cried because they have to put this mask on him that covers his whole head except for his nose. It is straped down to the table so he can't move. It reminds me of a spiderman mask. They have to do this so that the radiation hits the same place everyday.
It was really hard for me to see him having to go through that. He lays on a very narrow table and they strap his arms and body on to the table. He asked for them to do this because the table is so narrow there is no where to rest his arms and his left arm being weak, was hard to hold up.
The radiation he is receiving is like getting 1,000,000 x-rays at one time. It is all supposed to go to the tumor, but I think we all know better. The door says it all. It is about 3 feet wide....and he is in the room with nothing but a mask on. I am really worried about the effects it has on the rest of his body.
He said that he felt a little nauseous after the first two but did not today.
We reviewed his MRI's yesterday and his tumor has grown. The exact size after surgery is unknown but I can even tell it has grown. Size is 1.6x1.8x1.5.
