The treatment will officially start tomorrow even though I went through the entire process today. It's just like getting x-rays taken at the dentists office except for the fact that you're doing it without any clothes on and you're bare naked lying in a coffin-like molded plastic piece of half-rounded PVC pipe and they aren't aiming anything at your mouth.

Oh, yeh, FYI, they still haven't improved on the hospital gowns. Since the time of Florence Nightengale they've been stuck on the same style. They're still short on zippers, buttons, or velcro and long on drafts.

So, it's not painful or invasive only humiliating, embarrassing, and drafty. I take that back, it is invasive. Think a colonoscopy that they don't put you out for. It's a good thing that I have a high tolerance for embarrassment. Here's something that you can get your mind around. There's a donut (white frosting) looking thing that swirls around you and it's shooting protons into targeted areas of the affected area. Clothes off to clothes on? About 15-20 minutes which leaves about 23 hours 40-45 minutes to actually shop for donuts.

I guess with some guys there's a minor incontinence problem. In fact, someone that had the treatment put together a flyer that lists all the public bathrooms within a 5 mile radius of the hospital.

I found the Drayson Center, which is a Health Club/gym. I can get a membership there since I'm a proton treatment.
