As I said, my RO was there for each session but I am not sure for how long. Maybe there is some leeway and differences from one hospital to the next regarding reviews of the treatment plan in real time, adaptive changes and the hospital assigned responsibilities regarding the physicist and dosimetrist in the control room. Interesting question though. I got to meet and speak with my RO before, during and after treatments.

I am being treated at UCLA and have complete confidence in their plan and approach. It’s just that I am old school and still find “the laying on of hands” by a physician comforting. At the end of the path it’s all good!

Agree. Hope our posts know that at many treatments centers R/Os are very much involved with our treatments, and we do see them being involved.

I echo your experience with your R/O as that is exactly what I experienced at UFHPTI. And can see it is not uncommon practice with R/Os being involved and present before, during, after.
