Hearing the “C” word is just the beginning of a long and difficult journey for the patient and their family.

• During radiation treatments, kids are incredibly vulnerable. They are alone, kept apart from their parents and others, and surrounded by big, loud machines in dark and dreary rooms. Separation anxiety looms large and kids (and parents) dread treatment days.
• RadFlix aims to give radiation treatments a radical overhaul by creating an emotionally safer experience for patients and their families!

RadFlix is a unique, game-changing system that allows patients to watch their favorite movies during radiation.

This revolutionary new approach to pediatric radiation treatments means:

• Video-based distraction therapy that can reduce anxiety for all ages helping bringing back some of the joys of childhood
• Younger patients who wouldn’t previously tolerate therapy without anesthesia, are willing to do this type of treatment while awake
• Patients say time goes by faster and they have less fear during radiation
• Kids feel like they have some control during treatment
