What is the actual radiation procedure like? Do you feel any pain during the actual treatment session? What should I or my loved one be prepared for?
Again, if this is our first experience with radiation, we can go to dark places in our thoughts as to how bad this is going to be. Assuredly, radiation is not a picnic.

Yet, we must avoid throwing our hands up and expecting apocalyptic pain. Cancer treatments have come a long way since our parents and grandparents experienced them. The actual procedure might surprise you...in a good way.
Listen as Pete tells his journey through his radiation experience and what the treatment sessions were really like.
