I went to see Chad in action during treatment #10. I also got an education. Chad has described everything to me but to see it in person was eye opening. The big blue pad is a mold of Chad's body. This is to make sure his body is in the same position every time he has a treatment. Top right is his mask and neck mold. Bottom right is the mask again. It's pretty Freddy Kruger looking. When Chad is wearing it he is actually bolted to the table so he can't move his head at all.
The next three pics are of Chad getting set up on the table. If you look closely in the third pic you can see the laser that runs over the center of his body to line up the mask and his Chest tattoo.
The last two pics are the computer image of where Chad is getting radiation and him actually in the tube getting zapped.
He has now receive 10 treatments. Only 20 more to go. He is starting to feel the effects. He has a lump in his throat that never goes away and is very dry. He also is feeling a little tired and his muscles are a bit weaker than normal. You would never know because Chad doesn't complain or show any signs of discomfort. He is amazing.
