Lingen Davies Cancer Support, which helps people living with the disease in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin and Mid Wales, has funded surface guided radiotherapy technology (SGRT) on two radiation machines at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.
This allows patients to receive radiology with an open-face mask and is something not widely available on the NHS.
“You can see, you can open your eyes, you can breathe through your nose and your mouth,” Morgan said.
“The full face mask, you can’t even open your lips. I still found it slightly claustrophobic but towards the end I got quite used to it.”
With the new mask, staff also helped Morgan with breathing exercises.
He said the mask had made a real difference, since his claustrophobia is something he has suffered with since he was a child.
“It’s a brilliant, brilliant invention, I wouldn’t be able to do it otherwise,” he said.
“The panic attack I had, I just could not go ahead with it, but this other one it makes it so much easier.”
