A Morning in the Life of James Taylor...

Today I thought that I’d let the pictures do the talking.

A sly smile in the elevator....
....to the basement.

The long walk down to RADCU.

"Dad, c'mon, stop taking pictures"


Shirt off, ready to roll.


A quick story while waiting.


Off to the treatment room!


Quick stop outside....


..and in he goes.


"The Machine" - Out of that glass square thingy comes the lasers and radiation.


So, here you see the table that JT “rests” on. JT is brought up to the table broadside, put to sleep and then flipped onto his stomach to lay face down. The plastic mesh “basket” that you see at the head of the table goes over his head and is secured to the table. This ensures that while his therapy is going on his head doesn’t move. Clearly, this is precise science and movement is not so good. This may also give you a clearer understanding of why JT needs to be put under during this. God love him, but, there’s just no way he’d stay still.

Sweet dreams.


JT’s notes and stats in the control room.


..and we’re done. Time to wake up!
