Proton Centre First Visit

Early start today arriving at the Proton centre @ 7:15am
Checked in and had a round of appointments
Bloods at the general hospital next door
Lots of consent forms and paperwork
Got to see our specialist Dr Malyapa who when over the treatment process
Basically I will need 42 sessions of proton once a day 5 days a week starting 22nd July.  They need the period before to plan exactly where to zap me and for how long and at what power

I had to have a face mask fitted which involved fitting a rubber mould in my mouth which they then shrink wrapped a plastic and kevlar sheet over my face and head this was bolded to a mount
The whole idea is so my head is kept absolutely still during treatment

This is the kind of thing I will wear.  When I can I will upload a pic of my mask
Should be great for halloween
