He had CHART treatment three times a day, it was not painful in any way.

 



I had CHART treatment, which, I said to him, 'Is it painful?' He said, “No”. So, anyway, I had this treatment three times a day. It's very intensive, every six hours. You start eight in the morning, then two in the afternoon, then eight in the evening. So your feet don't touch the ground. It only takes about ten minutes. The first time it's about half an hour because they have to chart you and mark you up, and everything like that. And, but there's no pain to it at all.

Is this in the Radiotherapy department?

Yes, yes, Radiology, yes.
