Author Insight

Radiation Therapy: You Can Do This!

This is the reason I wrote this book, in a nutshell. I am a practicing radiation therapist and it's heart-wrenching to see my patients arrive for treatment each day scared and anxious. Cancer is scary enough as it is! Treatment doesn't have to be!

Book Excerpt

Ready, Set, Radiation

Purpose

Cancer is one of the scariest words to hear in any language. Understanding cancer and deciding how to combat it is a tough and personal decision to make, and it is also an incredibly vulnerable experience for anyone to have to go through. No one should enter this chapter of their lives without the tools they will need to walk through this journey confidently and fearlessly.

I wrote this book for that reason: to equip patients everywhere with the knowledge they will need to navigate radiation therapy treatments. My goal is to help every patient walking through the front door of any radiation oncology department to feel fully prepared and confident that they understand and know exactly what they are getting themselves into. There is so much information out there, but there are so few resources that organize that information in a digestible way. I hope this book helps with that by offering at least one resource to help make this chapter of your life more understandable and less overwhelming.

Good luck to you on your cancer journey! You’ve got this!
