Day One was quite interesting. I met all of the staff of the center. There were dosimetrists, radiation therapists, nurses, oncologists, clerical people, and a medical physicist. All the members of the team work together to carry patients from beginning diagnosis to ending treatments. There are several machines that can deliver radiation beams to provide the accurate amount of dosage to each individual patient. Over the next few weeks, I plan to spend time with each member of the oncology team and see what the everyday job is like. Week One will be spent with the radiation therapists.
