How it works

From consultation to your last session.

  1. 1

    See a radiation oncologist

    Your doctor reads your reports and explains whether radiation can help, and how.

  2. 2

    Planning scan

    A CT scan in the treatment position is used to map exactly where the radiation goes.

  3. 3

    Daily sessions

    Each session takes a few minutes and doesn’t hurt. You go home the same day.

  4. 4

    Follow-up

    Your doctor checks how you’re doing during and after treatment, and helps with side effects.

No. You don’t feel the radiation. Side effects such as skin redness or tiredness can build up over the course, and your team helps manage them.
