Organizing Your Radiation Records
Page last modified on: June 20, 2008
Because you may receive more than one round of radiation therapy, it's easiest if you keep a separate record for each round of radiation that includes:
- name, address and phone number of institution where radiation was given
- name, address and phone number of doctor who supervised your radiation
- nurse or nurse practitioner's name and phone number
- medical record number
- dates radiation given
- type of machine or technology used (linear accelerator, brachytherapy, etc.)
- area treated (include areas shielded)
- amount of radiation per session
- total dose of radiation
- copies of all radiation reports
