Throat Cancer Radiation Therapy - Long Version

When an individual has been diagnosed with a form of head and neck cancer, radiation therapy is a very common treatment modality that may be recommended. Radiation therapy, administered by a radiation oncologist physician, is accomplished by directing a stream of radiation particles that is molded to precisely the cancer’s 3D shape. Furthermore, the radioactive beam is rotated continuously around the cancer to ensure healthy tissue is not overly exposed, but collectively, keeping the focus of the radiation beams all centered on the cancer itself resulting in shrinkage to eventual elimination.
This video goes over how a patient is prepared to undergo radiation therapy and what to expect.

Zou blij moeten zijn , maar heb geen emotie , alles is leeg , beter worden voor wat of wie , iig niet voor mij zelf , benadrukt alleen meer dat er niks is.ommekijk nul , hoofdbehandelaar 4 min gesproken in 6 maanden en gaat binnenkort weereens bellen alsof ze het belangrijk vond, maar ze vinden je belangrijk, had mij maar laten gaan nu ergens geweest waar men wel om me geeft

[@richardwilliams1060]

Anyone who is reading this. Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life. Repent of your sins and Turn from your wickedness. Follow Him and be Holy

[@AmySchweitzer-p5z]

That has nothing to do with cancer! Bad things happen to good people!

[@loriarcher9630]

​@@AmySchweitzer-p5zI beg to differ. My hubby has 3 synchronous head and neck cancers, all different -- squamous cell of the forehead, melanoma of the scalp and throat cancer. Because of our faith in Christ he is miraculously conquering each one and giving us strength and hope to endure and persevere! Prayer from hundreds of people, some we don't even know, has made all the difference! God is SO good!!
