Ladies & Gentlemen ... The Radiotherapy Show!

Surgery, Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy, among others, are the three most common treatments of cancer.
Starting yesterday, I received the first Radiotherapy session. The whole process went so smoothly. They first perform a CT-Scan on you to locate the precise positions of the cancer (or at least those that the doctor want to eliminate first) and put some marks on your body (as shown in the picture). Then, you will need to go to the Radiotherapy room where they will use radiation to kill the targetted cancer cells. Basically, all you need to do is to lie down and stay still.
Other than feeling a small burnt on the skin, a little dry mouth and a bit tired afterward, I almost felt nothing. I was sweating quite a bit possibly due to my increased metabolism during various activities for the day.
Without a doubt that operation of those sophisticated medical equipments require many years of high degree training, experience and accumulation of knowledge. I bet the result can be quite different if the procedures are being done by an experienced technologist and a not-so-experienced technologist. The message here is there are really nothing to worry about (though you may still need a little luck in what type of technologist and equipments that you may be provided with).
Like a magic show, when the magician tells you all the tricks on how the magics are done, you will burst and say "Oh! I can do that!"
So, Ladies & Gentlemen, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!
