Getting Radiation (picture and movie)



I only have two more radiation treatments.  About 1-1/2 weeks ago I had one of the nurses, Melanie, take a picture and a video of the radiation machine with my phone.  Above is the picture.  That big round thing aimed at my left side is the X-ray source.  It rotates around me and stops 4 times to radiate my esophagus, a little bit of my stomach, and the surrounding lymph nodes.  The movie below shows it rotating -- be patient, it may take a few seconds for the video to load.

I wish I knew how to make the video bigger, but I do not.  I also posted it to You Tube, where it is bigger and better: http://youtu.be/mnsrAtCRuak
