I had no pain while getting my radiation treatments.  On the day of my treatments I would be greeted by a radiation tech. The tech was young like me and very handsome.    The tech took me to a huge room that was filled with all these machines and equipment.   I was instructed to lie on the long table and to not move.  I was cold and the ever so fashionable hospital gown was not keeping warm.  I then had to pull the gown down to expose the areas to be radiated.  I was getting radiation from the tip of my chin to the bottom of my stomach.   The tech said there is an intercom in the room so they can hear me and I could hear them.  The tech then instructs me to lie still again and that he will be leaving the room to start the radiation.   I lay there as still as I can be in the dark room.   A few minutes pass and I hear the techs voice asking me if I am ready.  After I gave the go ahead, I hear a loud buzzing sound. As I lay there I could see light or laser beams cover the areas of my body to be radiated.   The Lights and beams had to line up with the pre tattooed dots I had on my body. The sound was constant and I was in that room for a good thirty minutes.   The tech then came back into the room and told me I could get up and get dressed and he would see me tomorrow.
