What happens during my treatment?


What happens during my treatment?

  • You will be given a specific time to come for your treatment.
  • The therapists will call you into the radiation treatment room where you will be asked to lie on the treatment table.
  • To limit any movement of your head during the treatment, you will be positioned in your mask. The therapists will make you comfortable using knee pillows and blankets.
  • The therapists will then position the treatment table so the prescribed treatment can be given accurately. The set up is complex and can take up to 15 minutes. It is important that you remain very still.
  • Once everything is set up, the therapists will leave the room. The treatment is administered from computer set up outside your treatment room. The therapists can see and hear you at all times. You will be able to communicate with them through the intercom. They can interrupt the treatment and enter the room at any time if needed.
  • If you are anxious, coughing or in pain, it is important to take appropriate medicines to help minimize movement.
  • You will not feel the radiation during your treatment but you may hear the accelerator working. You may see or hear the accelerator as it moves but it will not touch you.
  • The therapists may come into the room at times during your treatment to re-position the accelerator. The treatment is delivered from different positions so you may feel the treatment table move.
  • The actual treatment time is about 10 minutes. You will be in the treatment room approximately 30 minutes.
  • Each day you will be given the time for your next treatment.
