Discussion about living with and beyond cervical cancer, late effects of treatment and survivorship.
To use this podcast as CPD, look at these reflection points:
1) What support services such as a dietitian, psychologist, psychosexual therapist, does your department offer patients receiving pelvic radiotherapy?
2) How can you, as an individual, support your patients who may present with symptoms of Pelvic Radiation Disease.
3) What information do you provide patients regarding the possible long term/late effects of radiotherapy? Is there anything you think that could be improved and if so how might you start to make improvements?
