What to expect from your radiotherapy treatment
Radiotherapy can be a really difficult time for patients as it’s a side of cancer treatment that is less well known. This video is a helpful tool for patients before they start their radiotherapy treatment to help break down some of the fear, uncertainty and misunderstanding that can often surround this form of cancer treatment.
