In a heartfelt recollection of his cancer journey, head and neck cancer survivor Ron Bongetti has spoken to us as part National Radiographers and Radiation Therapists’ Week. His praise for radiation therapists and their “terrific” care is clear.
Ron was diagnosed with tonsil cancer in 2013, and squamous cell carcinoma in 2021. Today he is cancer free, thanks to his radiation therapists and the rest of his care team.
Passionate about pursuing better outcomes for people with Head and Neck Cancer, Ron now sits on the Board of Head and Neck Cancer Australia.
NRRTW is an ASMIRT initiative, celebrating medical radiation practitioners and their vital work. NRRTW runs from November 4-10, encompassing World Radiography Day on November 8.
This year’s theme is Medical Radiation Practitioners – An essential part of your health journey.
