like no tanning bed i've ever seen
... although the resulting warm, red burn is pretty much the same. this machine, the 'BW6', and i have spent some quality time together over the last month (radiating 16 fields every day in my neck and chest, to be precise). while I won't exactly miss having my face masking-taped to a table each day, i concur that radiation has been an absolute walk in the park compared to the good ol' days of ABVD!

Julie, your feelings and emotions are right on. You're now entering a different phase of your life, and whether you know it or not, your life has changed forever. You've been forced to face your mortality at a young age. You're stronger and well-seasoned. Your struggle with cancer has been a consuming experience that was essentially a full time job on call 24/7. Now that it has stopped, there's a personal void that needs grieving. Trust in the tincture of time. You need some distance from all this to stop the nightmares. Your courage and openness has been inspirational - wow factor 10. Love ya.
"Back down the bully to the back of the bus
Cause it's time for them to be scared of us
Till you're yelling, how we living cause you got the ball
Then you rock on baby, rock on, you rock on
On and on!"
Rock on!
