I'm back

[matthew55]

I have had a full head and shoulders mask fitted and have been scanned. I now have three more visits. I can't wait. 😄x

Wow what did it feel like wearing the masks

[Ellie]

Do those 3 visits include the radiotherapy or all to do with the mask?

How long did you have to lie on your back, Matthew? It's usually quite a while. I'd find that difficult now.

What’s the mask made of Matthew

[Ellie]

GaryM Difficult because of breathing or that it would be uncomfortable?

Thanks Gary. Think I might panic as soon as the warm material was placed on my face. Even more so when the moulding took place. Hats off to anyone having it done.

I was having a beauty treatment that consisted of having hot/warm wax put on my face. It came off like a mask and I felt rather panicky so not sure how I'd feel about the whole procedure. Bolted to the table 🤤!

Where is he?

[matthew55]

The mask was easily to breathe through and that took 15 min then the scan I was lying down for 20 or so minutes, both beds were just hard tables. My next visit is a Covoid test following that the actual radiology and the last is a consultation. The mask was very comfortable 😃x

[matthew55]

I forgot I had a canular and was given tracking fluid which apparently makes you want to see. I have been syringes water all evening. 😃x

Pee not see

Glad it went well Matthew x
