Hello!
An update on my situation. The doctors believe it is too risky (life-threatening) to attempt another ESD to remove the tumour. They have asked me to explore other options. I met my oncologist and he suggested we start radiation. Luckily, there is a hospital with an MR LINAC machine in my city and I registered for treatment there. They did a CT scan and an MRI and also prepared the mould.

I am scheduled to begin on Monday (24th March).

I was wondering if anyone here underwent radiation therapy on an MR LINAC machine? I did feel a little uneasy during the MRI and also during a trial run on the MR LINAC machine. The ceiling of the bore was very close to my face and I couldn't wait for it to finish.

I am just nervous I have to undergo this 5 times a week for the next 5-6 weeks. Any tips on how you coped with this?

@asapienlessordinary, how is radiation going? How are you doing?
