This is my place to relate my experiences with cancer treatment, as well as share resources that may be helpful to fellow oral, head, and neck cancer survivors. I was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the left parotid on June 30, 2006. My goal is to continue enjoying the Nebraska Good Life. I call this blog the "Cheeky Librarian", since the cancer was discovered in my cheek, I am a librarian, and many that know me say I fit the slang use of the word 'cheeky'.
I appreciate the radiation therapist that took this photo. I still have to ask what the tapes on the mask mean - it was hard to talk while the mask was on, and I forgot to ask when they set me free.

Hello Cheeky,
The marks on your mask are placed as sort of a map. We use them to line you up to the correct position and make sure you are straight on the table everyday.
Thanks, Angela! You and your cohorts are the very best at keeping me straight! (grin!) Other folks will be calling you to find out your secrets!
