Radiation-18_more-xray-mojo.wav

In 2016 I treated for cancer. Radiation treatments involve lying on a table while a machine whirrs around you.

I recorded 33 treatments and the setup visit using the voice memos app in my iPhone, which was the only equipment I was allowed to carry into the space. Edited in Logic to remove some of the room noise, compensate for mic hiss, clarify speaking voices, and spread the sound.

Some are the full go; those labelled 'numbers' refer to the techs measuring body position. Occasionally they would take x-rays before administering the zapping. Some of these samples are labelled appropriately.
