Radiation treatment for cancer requires a team of people who are ready to help patients navigate side effects, recover fully, administer follow-up care and answer all the questions that come along the way. On this episode Taylor Stoffel, PA-C, MPAS and radiation oncologist Dr. Michael Guiou talk about how the radiation oncology team works together to support patients before, during and after treatment. They share the close communication that happens behind the scenes between physicians, physician assistants, nurses, radiation therapists and the broader care team to make sure patients never fall through the cracks, while also exploring how side effects are managed, why long-term follow-up matters and how the team helps patients regain the best quality of life possible after treatment.
“We understand that it’s a really tough journey for you, and we respect that, and we want to be there to support you.”
— Dr. Michael Guiou
