Beforehand
When the tumor is surgically removed, the pediatric surgeon inserts several hollow tubes via which the radiation treatment is later provided. The radiotherapist will discuss with you how often and for how long your child will receive radiotherapy as well as the length of intervals between treatments.
Radiotherapy
Your child will remain in a special room for a few days. You must leave the room while the radiation is administered, but otherwise you can stay with your child.
