	You will first meet with a radiation oncologist to decide if radiation therapy is a recommended treatment option for your particular situation. If you and your physicians decide to proceed, then you will have an extended consultation in which you discuss the details of your treatment. This includes the exact area to treat, the amount of radiation you will receive, the length of treatment time and potential treatment side effects. The radiation oncologist will also answer any questions you may have. These issues vary for each patient, so it is important to make an individual treatment plan.
