Hi Erika
Phone up in the morning and speak to your BC nurse or ask the nurse to speak to the Doctor and find out what’s going on. Hope you get some answers. Did they ask you to go back tomorrow? If so ask to see a doctor x
Hi Erika,
As I’m sure you are aware the radiographers need to get you positioned in exactly the same way each time, since strength of radio is targeted (hence the alignment tattoos). Sometimes it takes them awhile for them to get you in the right position - I remember the radiographers telling me that set up took most of the appointment time, the zapping (my word, not theirs) a relatively short proportion of the time.
From what you say it sounds like they couldn’t get you in quite the right position during the appointment slot. Do ask them tomorrow when you go in. I remember when they were positioning me initially found I had a natural inclination to move my body to try to help them position me correctly…they rapidly clarified this wasn’t the best approach…try not to move but be nudgable and nudged gently into position by them. Do ask them, but it sounds like that was genuinely the issue, so try not to worry.
I hope tomorrow goes well, just pretend you are putty which they are gently nudging.
