I'm a current 3rd year medical student and have rad onc as one of my top choices for residency options. I was fortunate to be involved in research at a local cancer center and found the entire experience very enjoyable and lacking the somberness I expected initially in a cancer environment. However I was only there for 2 months so I'm wondering what the long term experience in treating cancer is like. For anyone working in rad onc, does tracking a patient from diagnosis to wasting to early death affect you or did it affect your decision to enter the field?
