Hello

I forgot to ask what is Rapid arc please can someone tell me,
He started his journey by having Chemo which he just finished.
he told me he had marks put on him
Hi It is me.
Great that your husband has finished chemo. Rapid Arc radiotherapy is where they use a CT scanner or some other form of imaging to pinpoint where the tumour is and give a more precise dose of radiation.
The marks are little tattoos which are used to line the body up in the machine into the same place every time.
