Sure thing: First week radiation complete; The people there are *really*
nice. I don't think I've waited in the waiting room more than eight
minutes each day. Setup for the initial CT is fairly quick/routine (My
treatment is via a tomotherapy unit - neat website about it at
http://www.tomotherapy.com ). You can definitely tell when the radiation
is turned on - There is an instant taste of ozone in your mouth/nose.
Whenever the beam passes over/through/near the optic nerves, I can see
strobing lights - Kinda neat.

So far, the only side-effects are fatigue that kicks in about four hours
later and lasts for about three hours; Nothing major, just a general
feeling of being a little run-down. The surgical scar on my head/neck is
a little tighter and the skin right inside my right ear is a little
sensitive . Given I am completely numb from my right ear down my right
jawline, (other than immediately inside the right ear) I can't really
tell if anything else is feeling any burning, yet (Nerves severed during
surgery).

So far, so good. The drive is a pleasant one: I get my coffee on the way
out and switch back and forth between CBC Radio One and CFRA, so I get my
fill of talk radio on the way in. The CBC sure has a habit of making you
think about things you'd never otherwise think about :)

I've taken to stopping at the Antrim Truck Stop on the way back for a
cheese omelet as my little treat; Something to look forward to for the
daily treatments (Hey, I'm a simple kind of guy :) :) )
