As the first of its kind, this patients’ perspective highlights the emotional, psychological and financial impact on cancer patients when needing radiotherapy.

“My husband was diagnosed and died very soon after. We had to travel 600km to radiotherapy treatment and sadly this took most of his remaining time ... if the centre was closer we could have returned home [to] our family.”
