I really appreciate your program for giving me this opportunity to observe the radiation therapy center, and how it works in the United States, which gave me a lot of information about what to expect during the clinical practice in the graduate study.
If I had more time, I would have liked to see how they treat the patient by cyberknife, also, I would have liked to witness them doing
