After simulation, there is one additional appointment before getting started.
On either the day of (or more commonly, the day before) your first radiation treatment, you will undergo a “dry run” in which treatment setup is verified. During this half hour session, our therapists may place some markings on your skin that will serve as reference points for setting up the treatment machines each day.
Please pay attention to the therapist instructions on how to care for these markings – as they are important for treatment accuracy and reproducibility.
