Who Can I Talk to if I'm Concerned About my Radiation Treatment?

Generally, a social worker will be available to help you during your course of radiation treatment.

The social worker can discuss any emotional issues or other concerns about radiation treatment or your personal situation. The social worker can also discuss housing or transportation needs or appropriate resources if necessary.

People dealing with certain medical issues often find it helpful to share experiences with others in the same situation. Your doctor can provide a list of support groups if you are interested. Your social worker can provide additional information about more support groups that may be of value to you.

What About Follow-Up Care After Radiation Therapy?

After your radiation therapy sessions are complete, you will visit your doctor for periodic follow-up exams and diagnostic X-rays. Your doctor will tell you how often to schedule your follow-up appointments.
