  schema:description "For radiotherapy to the head or neck you wear a close-fitting plastic mesh mask, moulded to your face while it is warm and clipped to the table, so you are in exactly the same place every day. About a quarter of people feel anxious in the mask. Tell the team early: they can explain each step, give breaks, let you play music, and in some departments use a mask with the face left open."@en ;
