A photo tour of my treatment

Here are some photos of me getting ready for and during treatment. It's me shirtless and in shorts but covered. So for you weak stomached you have been warned. I put them in as links so small children and animals wouldn't be scarred for life. The links will take you away from the blog, but if you hold down CTRL when you click it will open a new window and it won't take you away. (you may want a quick escape back.)
The first pic is of me after they have put me in the body cast and have vacuum packed my legs and hands in place. Going into the CT scanner. http://picasaweb.google.com/adlayne1/Downloads#5563741216632122450 They do this every time I have treatment to make sure that I am in the same position every time. Some markers are in the back of the cast so they can compare my body alignment each time. So it will be perfect, like me ;)
Next, are of my vacuum packed person, http://picasaweb.google.com/adlayne1/Downloads#5563741222755416850 and the writing on my chest so they can line up the lasers to shoot the radiation in me, but that is another picture. They were nice and covered me up while taking these pictures, didn't want to show too much skin, even though I am really sexy (in my best Austin Powers Irish guy (and yes I know his name) voice)... ok I'll stop there.
The next two are the Cyber knife, laser surgery, radiation machine thingy.

I get a really good look at it while having treatment, it's only about six inches from my face at times. I know the machine says Novalis on it too, but inside, where I can see it says Varian.
And we can't forget the radiation crew, they take good care of me while I am stuck in one place. http://picasaweb.google.com/adlayne1/Downloads#5563741280079684322 The last pic is the vacuum machine, http://picasaweb.google.com/adlayne1/Downloads#5563741248228845058 it has an alarm that if it stays on too long without giving me a break (at least that's what I think its for) it will go off. The first time I was getting treated it went off at the start of the second scan. I had to wait through the whole scan for it to be safe for the team to come back in and reset it. It was really annoying. But I guess alarms are supposed to be annoying.
