Abstract

I am a radiation therapist at the Simcoe Muskoka Regional Cancer Centre in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. My mother recently underwent cancer treatments, and the journey has given me many moments of reflection and pause as an MRT, as a daughter, and as a mother. It was emotional for me to be providing care for our cancer patients while my own mother was undergoing radiation treatment at another centre. There was pain, anguish, guilt—but also a lightness and a deep and powerful feeling of trust in my MRT peers that they are working just as diligently with my mom as I worked diligently on others.
