Looking good! How long to the sessions for radiation treatments take?
My dad had a mask like that and one of those Clockwork Orange things to hold his eye open when he got radiation for his ocular melanoma (they shot him in the eye with a laser for 15s). He made the nurse take a picture of him to show us.
I think it's 15 mins of radiation. They have me hold my breath, radiate me, and then when I start to breathe again the machine automatically shuts off. It's just so they radiate as small of an area as possible.

Interesting, I never thought about the breathing part.
If DH ends up doing radiation it's going to be systemic (I-131-MIBG), which is 5+ days inpatient before you're safe to be near people again. He is dreading it.
