Radiation Therapy Should Be a Program…Not Just a Place

Nowadays, it seems everywhere you turn there’s a physician-owned, freestanding radiation oncology center popping up. Convenient? Maybe. Comprehensive? Not likely. When it comes to radiation therapy, patients — and their families — should expect the latest and widest range of radiation technology. But they should also have access to innovative approaches to treatment and support that provides care in all aspects of the journey through a cancer diagnosis. At Boca Raton Regional Hospital’s Eugene M. & Christine E. Lynn Cancer Institute, you’ll find it all…and all in one setting.

Such as a spectrum of radiation therapies that is among the most complete in the field, including the Accuray CyberKnife® M6TM System.

Such as Multimodality Cancer Care, where a patient meets with the entire medical team in one visit. Such as oncology social workers, nurse navigators, nutritional experts and a host of innovative support programs for both patients and loved ones.

All designed to be the most comprehensive and connected radiation therapy available in medicine today. Radiation therapy at the Lynn Cancer Institute. It’s a program, not just a place.

Dr. Sharma gives his top five tips to help people whose loved ones are dealing with mental illness: 1. Show compassion - The person suffering is often blaming himself for the mental illness anyway. 2. Educate and normalize - Offer to help your friend find assistance/treatment; remind he or she that they are not alone, that these are known entities with known treatments. 3. Be persistent - People often feel that they should not seek help, or that they would be embarrassed to seek help. 4. Don’t personalize - Often we mean well when we say, “I would do x” or “I had something like this,” but your friend may view your experience as a deterrent. 5. Emphasize safety - for the people suffering, and for the people around them. It is important to note that mental illness is not a character flaw. It should be seen and treated as any other illness. “If you have cancer you get sympathy, but if you say my son has mental illness, people tend to shy away.
