As a radiation oncologist, I take care of patients who have been diagnosed with cancer. This is an incredibly troubling time in their life, filled with anxiety and fear of the unknown. When I first meet my patients, we spend as much time as they need, discussing their history and potential treatment options, focusing on the role of radiation therapy as it applies to their personal situation. We discuss in detail what therapeutic radiation is, how we administer it, our expected treatment outcomes, and how we minimize and treat potential side effects. My goal is to eliminate the initial unknowns they arrived with, in turn reducing their anxiety and fear.
