Hello again amazing group,

I was just wondering - when my mother had radiation years ago and then when I did earlier this year, a mold was made of our upper body to ensure that we would be in the same position each time. When my mother in law had hers 2 yrs. ago and now my cousin who is currently going through treatment, neither had a mold made - just laid on the table in the same position. Just wondering why some do this and some do not - seems more likely to be precise with a mold.

thanks - have a great day!

Donna
