### Radiation Therapy Song Lyrics **(Verse 1)** Radiation therapy, a beam of light, Fighting cancer with all its might, X-rays, gamma, electrons too, Stopping cells from multiplying, through and through. **(Chorus)** Linear accelerators, precise and clean, Targeting tumours, unseen, From fractions to full doses clear, Radiation therapy, bringing no fear. **(Verse 2)** Motion management, we immobilise, DIBH, compression, we optimise, Fiducial markers, adaptive plans, Holding tumours still in our hands. **(Chorus)** Linear accelerators, precise and clean, Targeting tumours, unseen, From fractions to full doses clear, Radiation therapy, bringing no fear. **(Bridge)** Photons and electrons, we choose with care, 6MV, 18MV, it's all there, Orthovoltage for superficial skin, Deeper penetration where it begins. **(Verse 3)** Internal therapy, brachytherapy's role, Radioactive sources, reaching our goal, Fractionated treatment, day by day, Normal tissues heal along the way. **(Chorus)** Linear accelerators, precise and clean, Targeting tumours, unseen, From fractions to full doses clear, Radiation therapy, bringing no fear. **(Verse 4)** Side effects, we must be aware, Skin burns, mucositis, handle with care, Nausea, diarrhoea, hair loss might be, Tiredness and swallowing difficulty. **(Bridge)** Late effects, fibrosis, pigmentation too, Spider veins, pneumonitis, we see through, Myelitis, cataracts, a risk we bear, Long-term vigilance, showing we care. **(Chorus)** Linear accelerators, precise and clean, Targeting tumours, unseen, From fractions to full doses clear, Radiation therapy, bringing no fear. **(Verse 5)** Patient visits, short and sweet, Positioning accurate, can't be beat, Ten minutes here, five minutes there, Radiation delivered, with utmost care. **(Outro)** Radiation therapy, a beam of hope, Fighting cancer, helping patients cope, From Liverpool to Macarthur's hands, Radiation therapy, healing lands.
