I think that a simple leaflet outlining matters, in the same way as after the treatment, but after the initial consultation would give further reassurance before treatment is started.

My only disappointment with the process is that I believed there was a 3 month final follow-up as part of the overall procedure. It is very disappointing to find that if I want this follow-up I need to pay a further £150. Surely the practise would want a 15 mins closure call?

The doctor was very helpful but I wasn't happy with the first sessions of radiotherapy. I felt as if I was just a number and the nurses were going through the motions. My hand wasn't properly mapped and then they realised that it was the wrong hand AFTER I told them.
