I actually did see the doctor in there. I am not sure how long she stayed. The one day that she had another patient, there was another radiation oncologist in there as well.
The Meridian machine requires three people in there as a normal process as opposed to other machines which from what I understand requires two.

It sounds like the Radiation combined with the MRI must require an oncologist in the room. It’s not something that is discussed much at all. Most people don’t have MRIs involved in their radiation And I know it’s very uncommon for an oncologist to be involved in those case when only a CT scan is used.
That could explain why three people were in the room wit the MRI.

Yes @bens1 I am in the everyone else group also that did see my R/O several times in the control room prior to and after my treatments.
My first treatment my R/O my actually assigned R/O came in and talked to me prior to start of my treatment and was present and when I came out of treatment room on my way to changing room he was coming out of control room. Not sure if that is the norm just my personal experience with R/Os being present in control room.
