Radiotherapy

This is the machine they use when I have radiotherapy. It swivels from side to side as they hit you from different angles. I get two zaps from my left side and then it flips over to zap me from the right. I lay on the bed with my left arm in the arm holder so it reaches up above my head (in this pic it's on the left as they were setting up for me. The bed slides up and down into place.

Leah had fun today lowering the bed when they had finished. She told me over the phone today that I would be grounded if I moved whilst on the table. I think the therapist Josh and Leo may have had something to do with that lol.

The actual radiotherapy only takes a few minutes. Setting up takes about 5-10 minutes as each person receives their zap in a different position etc
