Consultation


It is common for radiation therapy treatment to be planned after your surgery, and sometimes after chemotherapy.

At your initial consultation, a radiation oncology nurse will meet with you to obtain a brief medical history. She will also assess your need for emotional and/or social support.

Your radiation oncologist will then meet with you to discuss the treatment plan and perform a physical exam. He or she will also review the results of your mammogram, surgery and X-rays with you. You will learn about the treatment and any anticipated side effects.

Before you leave, we will make an appointment for your simulation session.
