I have my appointment sorted for when I get measured up for my mask. I asked whether I had to be clean-shaven, including my eyebrows and the nurse laughed and said that unless I looked like Santa, I didn't have to worry. So let's hope Santa never needs radiotherapy...
Apparently, the way that they create the mask is not using bandages and plaster of Paris (another reason not to use Google) but by using a form of plastic that is thermo-pliable. Which I think means that as long as my face is warm they can form this plastic accordingly. I'll believe it when I see it. I now have in my mind that bit from one of the Star Wars films where Han Solo gets frozen in carbonite...
More info after the appointment.
