Radiation therapy journey
Welcome to the beginning of your radiation therapy journey, which involves a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays to destroy or shrink cancer cells. This journey will begin with consultations with a radiation oncologist, imaging scans to evaluate a treatment plan, regular treatment sessions spanning several weeks, and regular appointments to monitor progress and potential side effects. We will be guiding you through the complete radiation therapy process below.
