I'm a Radiation Therapist and when I've mentioned that to the other medical professionals I've met in my journey so far they either give me a look of pity, say "oh so you know all about this then" or "oh that must be awkward". I must admit I'm finding it all very fascinating, I usually meet my breast patients a month or more after chemo so don't know a lot about the different regimes and all the her2 and E/R receptors etc (except for seeing it on the referral it doesn't impact the radiation side of things), so I'm taking it all in from a learning point of view.
Being in Hobart with only 1 centre it is a bit weird sitting at chemo in the chair next to a patient who the week before I was designing his radiation treatment or across from a lady at LGFB who I met during her radiation planning session....
