About Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy, also called radiation therapy includes the use of ionizing radiation as a way to treat Cancer patients. This treatment acts by controlling as well as destroying malignant cells. Additionally, it could lead to treatment of several types of Cancer if the cells have not yet spread to different sections of the body. Apart from being used as a complimentary therapy with the intention of preventing the growth from recurring after a surgery, for instance during the early stages of breast Cancer, it is also used with curative intent. Radiation therapy is often combined with hormone therapy, surgery, immunotherapy or chemotherapy.

What to consider before starting radiotherapy

Pregnancy - during radiotherapy it is best not to get pregnant since radiotherapy harms a baby that may be developing. As for men, it is wise not to father a child during this time. Make sure you are not pregnant as you sign the consent form.

Get help at home because fatigue and depression could take a toll on you and minimize your production.

Check your financial records to ensure you can meet your appointment and travel cost. You may not be able to drive yourself to your appointments in the hospital and may need to consider a driver.

Talk to your employers if you are working or your tutors if you are pursuing further education to arrange for a program that can offer you as much support as you may need. You could even take some time off for treatment.

How to prepare for radiation therapy

The oncologist will prepare a plan for your treatment considering your health and fitness condition.
