What if I cough or sneeze during the treatment?

The radiation therapist is just outside your treatment room, watching you on a closed circuit television. A voice intercom enables two-way conversation between you and the therapist at all times. If necessary, the therapist will shut the machine off, assist as needed, and then finish your treatment.
