- SynopsisA report on those women who claim they have suffered crippling damage from radiotherapy following surgery for breast cancer. A support group, RAGE, has been started by one sufferer and is asking why treatment varies so much between hospitals. RAGE has found that radiotherapists rarely warn women of the possible severe side-effects, some hospitals say they haven't the time for a full 6-week course of treatment, and some hospitals are unaware of the damage caused and there are no statistics or comparison of different methods with the end results. There are over 50 treatment schedules on offer; RAGE is campaigning for more information and research. Interviews with radiologists, hospital doctors, Jan Millington and Sarah Brennan of RAGE, and patients Dorren Tully, Pauline Thomas, Janet Osborn, Jacqueline Ford and Lady Audrey Ironside.
