    Hi Elisec, I did 25 radiation tratments on a Truebeam machine and found the experience ok. I had SCC Node, and tongue HPV+. The longest I was ever on the machine was about 10 minutes. but normally only about 5 minutes.. While I am still waiting for a PET scan for an official NED, my oncologist has assured ne that my cancer has gone.
