Just as you would not expect to benefit from a medicine the instant you swallow a pill, the full effects of radiation therapy typically occur after a course of treatment is complete. Consequently, we consider the provision of aftercare a critical component of our services. During each of these visits, your attending physician will review with you any changes in your condition and will examine you to assess the status of your disease (hopefully, it will be gone) and the health of your normal tissues. If additional action is required, we will arrange it or prescribe needed medications. As time goes on, the frequency of your visits may decrease if you are feeling well, but you will still know that we are here if you need us.
