How do you get from a referral to the first radiotherapy session?
- 1
Share the reports
Call the helpline or leave your number. The care team asks what has been found and books a consultation. Gather the biopsy, every scan with its images, any operation notes, and a list of the medicines the patient takes every day.
- 2
Consult and review
An oncologist goes through your reports. Your case is discussed at the tumour board, where the order of surgery, medicines and radiation is agreed. You hear the recommendation and the alternatives together, in words the family can repeat.
- 3
Meet the radiation oncologist
Dr. Mohanty or Dr. Vajrala explains the plan, the side effects and the centre where treatment is given. Ask every question the family has, including how the daily travel will work for the patient.

Planning scan, then treatment
A planning scan maps the area in your exact position. Daily treatment then begins, with regular reviews by the doctor. Tell the staff at once about any new soreness, cough or trouble eating.
What should you ask, depending on where you are in treatment?
The useful questions change with the reason radiation has come up.
Told you need chemotherapy too
Ask whether the two run together or one after the other, and who watches your blood counts. Ask where each is given.
Living with pain from spread
Ask whether a short course could ease the pain or protect a weak bone. Ask how soon relief usually starts, and what to take in the meantime.
Treated with radiation before
Ask whether the same area can safely be treated again, what the earlier records show, and whether another approach would serve you better this time. Bring the old treatment summary.
Caring for an older parent
Ask whether the course can be adjusted for their strength, whether a shorter schedule is reasonable, and what help is available on hard days.

How does CION Tolichowki support you during radiotherapy?
CION Tolichowki gives consultations and chemotherapy. That covers the first conversation, much of the follow-up, and any chemotherapy that runs alongside your radiation.
1Chemotherapy in the same weeks
Cancers of the cervix, head and neck and rectum are often treated with chemotherapy and radiation together. Your medical oncologist gives the chemotherapy here, checks your blood counts beforehand, and keeps the radiation team informed, so a change in one plan reaches the other.
2Finding the centre
CION Tolichowki is at 12-2-718, Khader Bagh Road, Padmanabha Nagar, Toli Chowki, Hyderabad 500008, near the Tolichowki bus stop. It is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Call the helpline for directions before your first visit.
3Families nearby
People from Mehdipatnam, Attapur, Rethibowli, Nadeem Colony, Karwan and Langar Houz often find Tolichowki the closest CION centre. The same helpline books any other CION centre in Hyderabad if that suits you better.
4When something goes wrong at home
CION Tolichowki is an outpatient centre, not an emergency department. If someone on radiotherapy develops a high fever, bleeding, sudden breathlessness or cannot keep down food and water, go to the nearest emergency department first. Tell them about the cancer treatment, then call the CION care team so your doctors know.
Good to know
This page cannot tell you whether radiation suits your cancer. Your reports and the tumour board can.
Which worries about radiation are based on old ideas?
Myth
"Radiation leaves black burns on the skin."
What is true: Modern planning shapes the beam closely to the target. The skin may redden, darken a little or peel in the treated area, much like sunburn, and usually heals after the course. Report any broken or weeping skin early.
Myth
"Women cannot be near their husbands during treatment."
What is true: With beam radiotherapy, nothing stays in the body and family life can go on as usual. Some internal treatments for cervical cancer have brief advice, which your doctor explains.
Myth
"Losing weight during radiation is normal and harmless."
What is true: Some weight loss is common, but a lot of it can make the treatment fit less well and slow healing. Tell the team early if eating becomes hard. Food advice and support help.
Myth
"Radiation is done once and never again."
What is true: A different area can often be treated later if needed, and sometimes even the same area with careful planning. Your radiation oncologist checks your past treatment before deciding.

Answers for Tolichowki families considering radiotherapy
Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.
1Does CION Tolichowki give radiotherapy?
No. CION Tolichowki gives consultations and chemotherapy. CION's radiation oncologists plan your radiotherapy, and your care team names the centre that gives it. You are told where it is, and given a written estimate, before you agree to anything.
2Can I meet Dr. Mohanty or Dr. Vajrala?
Yes. Dr. Kirti Ranjan Mohanty (MBBS, MD Radiation Oncology) and Dr. Gangadhar Vajrala (MBBS, MD Radiation Oncology, MPH) are part of the team that serves Tolichowki. The care team tells you where and when each one sees patients and books the visit for you.
3How long will the daily visits go on?
Most full courses mean visits every weekday for several weeks. Courses to ease pain can be much shorter. Your radiation oncologist gives you the schedule for your case. Ask early so you can arrange transport and help for the later weeks.
4Is radiotherapy suitable for an elderly parent?
Often, yes. Age alone does not rule it out. The doctor looks at how well your parent manages day to day, other illnesses and the aim of treatment. Courses can be adjusted, and the doctor will tell you honestly if a gentler approach makes more sense.
5Can I eat normally during treatment?
Mostly. Eat regular meals with enough protein and drink plenty of fluids. If your mouth, throat or bowel is in the treated area, softer or blander food may be easier. The team gives advice specific to your treatment.
6Is chemotherapy given here if it is part of the plan?
Yes. Chemotherapy is given at CION Tolichowki. When it runs alongside radiation, your medical oncologist times the doses and checks your blood counts first, and keeps the radiation team informed.
7Will insurance help with the cost?
CION's team helps with cashless insurance and gives you a written estimate before you start. Bring your policy details to the first visit. If a government or employer scheme covers you, say so when you call so the team can check it.
8We already have a plan from another hospital. Can CION review it?
Yes. Bring the plan, scans and biopsy report. A CION oncologist goes through it, tells you whether they agree, and explains any difference. It does not commit you to treatment at CION, and it rarely delays the start by much.
