Radiotherapy Sessions

Radiotherapy Sessions
The radiographer will ensure that you are comfortable on the couch in the treatment room before starting the session. During your treatment you will be left alone in the room. You will be able to talk to the radiographer through an intercom and the radiographer will be watching you from the next room.
Radiotherapy does not make you radioactive – it is safe for you to be with other people (including children) throughout your treatment.
You can eat and drink normally before and after each radiotherapy session.
Radiotherapy treatments are totally painless (like having an ordinary x-ray).
You will be asked to remain still during treatment but you can breathe normally.
Each radiotherapy session lasts from a few seconds to several minutes
