What does a typical radiotherapy course feel like, week by week?
- 1
Before treatment begins
You meet the radiation oncologist at L.B. Nagar, then have a planning scan at the treating centre. For head and neck treatment, a mask is made to keep you still. Dental checks are often done first.
- 2
The early part
Most people feel little. Each visit is short: you change, lie on the couch, the staff line you up and leave the room, and the machine moves around you. You go home the same day.
- 3
The middle of the course
Effects start to show in the treated area. Skin may redden, the mouth may get sore, or bowels may loosen, depending on where the beam is aimed. Your doctor reviews you and adjusts the care.
- 4
The final stretch
Tiredness is usually at its height. This is when a family member should come along to each visit, and when good food and fluids matter most.
- 5
After the last visit
Side effects often peak soon after and then settle over the following weeks. Follow-up returns to L.B. Nagar, and a scan to check the response is done once the area has calmed down.

Ask for the doctor you want, or we’ll match you.
How can you look after yourself during daily radiotherapy?
Small habits make the weeks easier. Your team will tailor this advice to the area being treated.
Skin
Wash the treated skin gently with lukewarm water, pat it dry and wear loose cotton. Avoid perfumed creams and home pastes unless the team has approved them.
Food and fluids
Eat little and often, with protein at each meal. Soft food helps if the mouth or throat is sore. Drink plenty of water unless a doctor has told you otherwise.
Energy
Rest when tired, but keep a short daily walk if you can. Ask family to take over cooking or errands in the later weeks.
Mood
Worry and low mood are common during treatment. Talk about it at your review. Counselling and support are part of cancer care, not a sign of weakness.
Which parts of your care stay at CION L.B. Nagar?
At CION L.B. Nagar you can see the radiation oncologists, other oncologists on the team, and have chemotherapy. Only the radiotherapy visits themselves happen at another centre, which your care team names in advance.
1When chemotherapy runs alongside
For cancers such as those of the cervix, head and neck or rectum, chemotherapy is often given in the same weeks as radiation. Your medical oncologist gives it here and checks your blood counts first. Because the radiation oncologists also see patients at this centre, the two plans can be lined up face to face rather than by phone.
2Finding the centre
CION L.B. Nagar is on the ground floor of Anu Arcade, H.No. 3-4-148, RTC Colony, L.B. Nagar, Hyderabad 500074, beside L.B. Nagar Metro Station and a two-minute walk from the L.B. Nagar bus stop. It is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
3From the east of the city
Families from Vanasthalipuram, Nagole, Hayathnagar, Dilsukhnagar, Uppal and Saroornagar often find this the most convenient CION centre. The metro next door helps relatives who come from further away.
Good to know
Call before you come, so the radiation oncologist you need is in on that day.
What wrong ideas about radiation do relatives bring to the first visit?
Myth
"The patient will glow or give off radiation."
What is true: Beam radiotherapy leaves nothing in the body. The patient is safe to hug, cook for the family and share a room the same day. Only some internal treatments need brief precautions, and you will be told.
Myth
"Radiation always causes another cancer later."
What is true: A second cancer caused by radiation is possible but uncommon, and usually appears many years later. For most people the benefit of treating the cancer they have now is far larger. Ask your doctor how this applies to you.
Myth
"A shorter course must be a weaker course."
What is true: The length of a course is chosen for the cancer and the aim. Some short courses are just as effective for the purpose, such as easing bone pain. Length alone does not tell you quality.
Myth
"Once radiation is planned, nothing can change."
What is true: Plans are adjusted if you lose a lot of weight, if the tumour shrinks quickly, or if side effects become hard. That is why the doctor keeps seeing you during the course.

Common questions about radiation oncology near LB Nagar
Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.
1Do the radiation oncologists see patients at L.B. Nagar?
Yes. Dr. Kirti Ranjan Mohanty (MBBS, MD Radiation Oncology) and Dr. Gangadhar Vajrala (MBBS, MD Radiation Oncology, MPH) both see patients at CION L.B. Nagar. Call the helpline to find out which doctor is in on the day you want to come, and bring every report you have.
2Will my radiotherapy be given at L.B. Nagar?
No. The radiation oncologists plan it here, and the treatment is given at a centre your care team names. You are told where it is, and receive a written estimate, before you agree. Your consultations, chemotherapy and follow-up can stay at L.B. Nagar.
3How long is a typical radiotherapy course?
A full course usually means going in every weekday for several weeks, while a course to ease pain can be far shorter. Your radiation oncologist gives you the exact plan. Ask early, because the daily travel affects work, childcare and who comes with the patient.
4Does the treatment hurt?
You feel nothing from the beam. The visit itself is short and you lie still while the machine moves. Soreness, if it comes, builds slowly in the treated area over the course, and your team gives you creams, mouthwashes or tablets to ease it.
5Can I continue my usual medicines?
Usually yes, but bring a full list, including medicines for sugar, blood pressure and blood thinning, and any herbal or home remedies. Some can affect the skin or interact with chemotherapy given alongside. Your doctor will tell you what to keep, change or pause.
6What if I miss a day of radiotherapy?
Tell the team as soon as you know. A single missed day can usually be added at the end. Repeated gaps can weaken the plan, so if travel or illness is making attendance hard, ask for help early rather than quietly skipping visits.
7Is insurance accepted?
CION's team helps with cashless insurance and gives you a written estimate before you start. Bring your insurance card and policy details to the first visit. If you have a government or employer scheme, mention it when you call so the team can check what it covers for you.
8Can a relative bring the reports first?
Yes. Many families start with a son or daughter bringing the reports to L.B. Nagar. The doctor can explain what has been found and whether radiation is likely to be part of the plan. The patient still needs to be seen before treatment is planned.
