Dr Hansen is a Rad Onc and works out of Port Macquarie Hospital, where Mid North Coast Cancer Institute is located. Hopefully this equipment will be deemed necessary for ALL Rad Onc facilities ......
Interesting read.. I had DIBH for my rads in 2016...(25 doses) my cancer was in my right breast. Invasive ductal carcinoma with node involvement. My rads onc decided it would be more effective for my situation, however I can’t agree with using this technique lessening the side effects of radiation.? I’m interested in which side effects they consider to be lessened? My burns were quite extensive And intense along with the fatigue and not to mention the trouble I’m now left with regarding my voice. ( I was told of these things at time of treatment)
It will be interesting to see how this effects patients with different types of breast cancers.
