Hi has anyone been treated for adult palliative radiotherapy under sedation or general anaesthetic.
If so could you let me know where.
Many thanks
Hiya,I hope you're ok...was just to say I've never heard of radiotherapy being done with sedation or anaesthetic....it's a totally painless procedure only lasting 8-12 minutes at a time....if it's because you're nervous you may be able to ask your Gp for a very low 2mg dose of diazepam for every session of radiation you have to take the edge off things
Ah right,sorry about that,I would still ask your GP for further advice and direction if consultant is being a pain in butt
