On January 17th, I had my CT scan for radiation. This scan is used to measure everything so they can callibrate the machine correctly for radiation- basically so they can fry me in all the right places. The woman that was working with me happened to have a 12 year old son, and they live in Joshua. Small world! They had to ma ke a form of my right breast/chest area. They did this by laying some very warm pliable plastic over my chest. It felt very much like paraffin wax. They then put ice packs on top of the warm plastic to harden it, since it was now the shave of my chest. All the while I had to keep my head to the side and hold my hands over my head while holding some handle bars. After about 5 minutes of this, it felt like my arms were going to fall off, but I couldn't move them because it would mess up the plastic form. After the form was all set up, they sent me through the CT machine a few times. After that, they took the form off of me and gave me 2 very tiny permanant tattoos: one between my boobs and one just under my right armpit. Then I was free to get dressed. They then came out and gave me my schedule- 11:10 every day starting the first of february, and continuing for 5.5 weeks.
Here is a picture of one of my tattoos! Pretty tiny huh!
