About a week after the initial consult I went in for a simulation. During this appointment they created a mold of a cushion that I would lay on each time. They also permanently tattooed three little dots on me so they can use it to align their machine onto me. They also made a lot of other marks all over my chest with a pen and placed several stickers. They also did a CT scan of my chest area, which they will use to plan out my treatments.
I also found out during this time that I would need 30 sessions instead of the 21-25 initially told. 25 full breast treatments and 5 boosters that target the area where the cancer was. I didn't really get a good explanation for the change except that she sized me up incorrectly during initial consult.
