PROTONRESAN
(Your proton journey)
Protonresan is a virtual visit for children and their families who are going to stay in Uppsala for proton radiation treatment.
Protonresan is a way of helping to prepare children and their families coming for proton radiation treatment. It was produced jointly by Skandionkliniken, the Ronald McDonald Hus, Akademiska barnsjukhuset and the Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund.
Through Protonresan, we want to give you more information and help you feel more comfortable as you prepare for proton radiation treatment at Skandionkliniken, and about staying at the Ronald McDonald Hus and coming to Akademiska barnsjukhuset, the hospital school and play therapy.
You can experience Protonresan through the VR headsets that are available at all six of the paediatric oncology centres in Sweden, and at home on your computer or tablet/phone screen.
Here you can watch the videos and take part in Protonresan without a VR headset. To browse through the videos, use the navigation symbol in the upper left-hand corner with your computer pointer, or by moving your finger on your touchpad.
