This is certainly a great idea! I really wish we had known what to expect, especially on day one, when we went in for the first chemo treatment, expecting to get a few shots and then leave. Little did we know it was an all-day affair.
I think there should be a topic on what to expect on the radiation table specifically. Such as there will be days when you are on the table longer due to additional x-rays, may have to have additional CT scans, new mask, etc. If you need to take Ativan or Valium for this purpose, make it clear that you will need to be told ahead of time. Knowing this would have prevented a few unpleasant sessions for my husband, as well as some tension between us the radiation techs, which is not something you want when those people have your well being in their hands.
Actually, now that I think of it, wouldn't it be a good idea to have a section in there for the medical personnel to read, from the standpoint of the patient? Maybe it could start something like this...."We depend on your compassion and forethought as to what we are going through. With this in mind, please note the following points...." Or something like that.
Thanks for all of your hard work and efforts, Brian!
