Giant Electric Can Opener

By Leanne

Giant Electric Can Opener

I began radiation this week. I'll be going every day for the next six weeks, except weekends and Christmas day, and I don't care what your religion is, that's a blessing. It's a heavy schedule, but after chemo, this experience feels more streamlined and somehow less intense. In fact, checking in by scanning my bar-coded pass and watching my session's status appear on a screen before me "On Time" announced the screen) my mother commented that it was a little like checking in for a flight. True, if your plane happens to be a giant electric can-opener and, once you've boarded, your flight lasts no more than about twenty minutes. This is the radiation machine: Can opener, no? Kitchen mixer maybe?
