4 weeks into radiation I was not in alignment and had to redo my simulation. last friday morning  I showed up for my treatment and it was picture day, the day of the week they do extra xrays to verify the alignment. they told me I was not lining up and could not get a treatment that day, I stuck around and they redid the CT simulation. then I get home and they call me and tell me they could not figure out what went wrong. so instead of continuing with treatments I started boosts, and today after my boost I had yet another CT simulation, I felt like this time it was twice as long.

 I 'm getting freaked out that something is wrong and that I'm getting tons of extra doses of radiation while they try to figure it out. I've told them my concerns and they assure me this sometimes happens and that it is ok and no I didin't get misdosed for the last week.

this whole thing makes me second guess all my decisions, from where to do radiation to the surgery decision itself. Now my head tells me 33 treatments is 33 opportunities for screwups, why didn't i think of that in the first place? can you tell this is making me panicky? has anyone out there had to re-do their sim?
