Does Radiation Simulation Hurt? | My Prostate Cancer mapping Experience

Written by:
Before prostate cancer radiation treatments can begin, there's another important step: radiation mapping and simulation.
But what actually happens during that appointment? Does it hurt? How long does it take? And what are they doing while you're lying on that table?
In this episode of Jonesing For The Journey, I take you through my own radiation simulation and mapping experience as I prepare for 39 radiation treatments. I share what the appointment was like from a patient's perspective, what surprised me, how I prepared, and some of the questions worth asking your radiation oncology team before treatment begins.
I'm sharing my experience not as medical advice, but because knowing what to expect can make an unfamiliar part of the cancer journey a little less intimidating.
If you're preparing for radiation—or supporting someone who is—I hope walking through this part of my journey helps you prepare for yours.
Ask one more question. Take an active interest in your own rescue.
Real Life. Real Journeys. Real Hope.
And so…the adventure continues.
