2 kind technicians…
Every day that I receive treatment, two kind radiation therapists help settle me onto the table comfortably. A third supervises and collaborates with them to make sure I’m lined up just right. Often one of them is a student of the medical school. Then they all leave the room to watch the computer monitors, administer my doses, and come back in and help me sit up (not an easy task, balanced on a surface not much more than 12 inches wide and several feet off the ground). Together we reassemble my cape, and they help me get my feet back on the floor.
No matter who is on duty on a given day—Bridgit, Raye Lee, Lynn, Amber, Aaron, Lauren, or one of several others—they’ve been unfailingly kind, professional, and upbeat. And they have been very tolerant of my requests to take photos. 🙂 I owe them a great thanks.
Knowing the penultimate treatment is in the books (and in my body) gives me peace. Thumbs up to two days off, and just one more turn under the rays!

What a great day! The last treatment – this is wonderful. I agree with you regarding the staff at the Cancer Unit – it must be universal because we know a few of the people who staff the Cancer Unit at our local hospital and they too are lovely people. Enjoy your two days off, relax, do something slightly-not completely- just slightly – crazy, then go get that last treatment!

They have been great. It’s amazing how important that it is- I saw them daily, the doc just once a week!
