Radiation is just like a sunburn, he says. In my mouth... and throat. For two months.
So, yesterday was my radiation 'meet & greet' or whatever. What a trip.

First off, turns out that, during my big surgery, they took out one of my teeth. Um... yeah.

Secondly, I get to (note that I'm saying 'get to' instead of 'have to'... it's all in the mindset, baby) go do this fun radiation thing every. day. for six weeks. :D OH BOY.

Third, they're going to mold a hard plastic mesh mask specifically to my face and shoulders that they will screw down to the table to hold me in place... every day for six weeks. It'll look like this:

(this is not me)

My sister, ever helpful, called it 'Jigsaw's puzzle', which - in no way - sent me into a panic, ohmygod. ~~It's all I'll be able to think of now.~~

... um, yeah. Doctor was a hoot. He liked mine, Lani and Cher's antics.
