Before Treatment: Planning Your Personalized Care
Before treatment begins, your Radiation Oncologist will meticulously plan your care. This involves reviewing your diagnosis, collaborating with a multidisciplinary team (including board-certified physicist and dosimetrist and radiation therapist), and using advanced imaging to create a precise, personalized treatment strategy. They will thoroughly explain your treatment plan, its benefits, and potential risks, ensuring you are fully informed and comfortable. The team also helps with emotional and practical preparation, connecting you with vital resources.
During Treatment: Expert Care and Ongoing Support
Throughout your treatment, your team provides expert care and continuous support. Radiation therapists, under the supervision of your radiation oncologist, will deliver treatments with utmost precision. Your Radiation Oncologist and oncology nurses will closely monitor you for side effects, actively managing them to ensure your comfort. The team is prepared to adjust your plan if needed and maintains open communication to address your questions and concerns.
After Treatment: Recovery, Follow-up, and Long-Term Wellness
Care extends beyond active treatment to support your recovery and long-term well-being. You’ll receive a clear post-treatment care plan to manage your care moving forward.

Your specialist will carefully monitor your health through routine check-ups to ensure you are doing well.
