Day One RT

Well the machine is just like all the others. Big: it fills a room, and rotates about you while you lie flat on your back. Imagine a massive U-shaped magnet where the ends of the Us can travel 360 degrees around the length of your body. It has a glass part where the rays come out so you see yourself kitted up in your shell staring back at you. They play gentle, calming music although sometimes the tracks are a bit ropey (sheesh I got "I wont let the sun go down on you"). Funny!
Thunking, whining, chugging. Lights go on and off and trhen it's done! Those lovely people at the Royal Marsden continue to be kind, friendly and professional (apart from that receptionist!).

Day two tomorrow.... and continuing until December 8th!
