The first step towards radiation therapy is meeting with a radiation oncologist. After a physical exam and review of your medical history, your team of doctors will develop a unique treatment plan.
External beam radiation therapy is conducted in a series of outpatient visits over one to 10 weeks with a minimal recuperation period, so you don’t have to stay at the hospital and can be back at home the same day.
After treatment is completed, you radiation oncologist will meet with you to make sure your recovery is progressing on target during your follow-up appointments.
