This section has been written to give you information about radiotherapy. We hope that it will answer some of the questions that you may have about this treatment.
If you have any further questions relating to your treatment, please don't hesitate to ask the doctor, nurse or radiographer looking after you. It is important to talk to someone who is familiar with your treatment, as radiotherapy differs from one person to another. Other people you meet may be having different treatments, even if they have a similar type of cancer.
Cancerbackup is a national charity and we rely on voluntary donations. To donate, please call 020 7696 9003 and tell us you have visited our website. Thank you.
