What does a course of chemotherapy at a CION Hyderabad centre look like?

  1. 1

    The planning visit

    The oncologist reads your biopsy report, the lab test on a small tissue sample, along with your scans. They explain which medicine is suggested, why, how often it is given, and the side effects to expect.

  2. 2

    Tests before the first dose

    Blood tests check your kidneys, liver and blood counts. Some medicines also need a heart test. Some cancers need a marker test on the tumour, which tells the doctor whether a targeted medicine might work.

  3. 3

    Treatment day

    You arrive in the morning. Your counts are checked, medicines to prevent sickness are given, and then the treatment runs through a drip or as tablets. Most people go home the same day.

  4. 4

    The days at home

    You leave with written advice on what is normal and what is not, and a number to call. A fever during chemotherapy always needs a call the same day.

  5. 5

    Review and the next cycle

    Before each cycle the doctor checks how you coped and whether to change anything. Scans at set points show whether the cancer is responding.

What do the words on a treatment plan mean?

Chemotherapy

Medicines that kill fast-dividing cells. Given through a drip or as tablets.

Targeted therapy

Medicines aimed at one change inside cancer cells. They only help if a test finds that change.

Immunotherapy

Medicines that help your own immune system recognise and attack the cancer.

Hormone therapy

Medicines that block hormones some breast and prostate cancers need to grow.

Cycle

One round of treatment followed by a rest period so the body can recover.

Palliative treatment

Treatment aimed at controlling the cancer and easing symptoms when it cannot be removed.

Which CION centre should you have your chemotherapy at?

Usually the one that is easiest to reach, provided your oncologist agrees. Day-care chemotherapy is given at Ameerpet, Kukatpally, Kompally, Masab Tank, L.B. Nagar, Tolichowki and Banjara Hills, and the same plan can be followed at any of them.

1Why distance matters more for medicines

A course of chemotherapy can mean many visits, each one a morning spent travelling, waiting and being treated. A patient who feels tired or sick after a dose should not face a long journey home. Choosing a nearby centre makes the course easier to finish on time.

2When the first visit and the treatment differ

You may meet your oncologist at one centre and have later cycles at another. That is fine. The records follow you, and the doctor who made the plan still reviews it. Ask the care team to arrange this once the plan is clear.

3When a hospital stay is needed instead

Some treatments need an overnight stay or close watching for hours. Your oncologist tells you in advance and the care team names the hospital. Centres are open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM.

4Cost

CION's team helps with cashless insurance and gives you a written estimate before you start. Medicine costs vary a great deal between treatments, so ask for the estimate before the first cycle.

What fears about chemotherapy stop people from starting?

Myth

"Chemotherapy makes everyone too ill to work."

What is true: Side effects differ widely between medicines and between people. Many patients keep working or running a home through treatment, with a few bad days around each dose. Medicines to prevent sickness are much better than they used to be.

Myth

"Everyone on chemotherapy loses their hair."

What is true: Some medicines cause hair loss and many do not. Targeted therapy and immunotherapy usually do not. Ask your oncologist about your own medicine, so you can prepare if you need to.

Myth

"Chemotherapy spreads the cancer."

What is true: It does not. This belief makes some families delay treatment while the cancer grows. Medicines are given because they slow, shrink or control the cancer.

Myth

"Herbal remedies can be taken alongside, they are natural."

What is true: Some herbs and supplements change how cancer medicines work or affect the liver. Tell your oncologist about everything you take, including tonics, before your first cycle.

Medical oncology at CION Hyderabad: what families ask

Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.

1Which medical oncologist will I see?

Any of the five: Dr. Naresh Gundu, Dr. N. Kiranmayee, Dr. T. Raghavender Reddy, Dr. C. Raghavendra Reddy or Dr. Owais Mohammed. If you ask for one by name, the care team tells you where and when they see patients. If not, they book the earliest suitable doctor at a centre near you.

2Can I have chemotherapy at the CION centre nearest my home?

Usually, yes. Every CION centre in Hyderabad gives day-care chemotherapy. Your oncologist confirms that your own treatment can be given as day-care, then the care team books the cycles at the centre you choose.

3How long does a chemotherapy visit take?

It depends on the medicine. Some are given over a short drip, others run for most of the day. Your oncologist tells you roughly how long your own visits will be, so you can plan transport and who comes with you.

4Do I need a test before targeted therapy or immunotherapy?

Often, yes. Many of these medicines only work when a test on the tumour or the blood finds a particular change. Your oncologist tells you which test is needed, where the sample goes, and what the result will decide.

5What should I do if I get a fever at home?

Call the number you were given the same day. During chemotherapy the body fights infection less well, so a fever can become serious quickly. If you feel very unwell or cannot reach anyone, go to the nearest emergency department.

6Can CION check a chemotherapy plan from another hospital?

Yes. Bring the plan, the biopsy report and the scans. A CION medical oncologist will tell you whether they agree and explain any difference. This does not commit you to having treatment at CION.

7How is the cost of medicines handled?

CION's team helps with cashless insurance and gives you a written estimate before you start. Bring your policy papers. If you are covered by a government or employer scheme, tell the care team when you call so they can check what it covers.

8Will I still see a surgeon or radiation doctor?

If your case needs them, yes. Every plan is discussed at a tumour board with surgical and radiation oncologists. If an operation or radiotherapy would help, they join your care, and the team tells you where those steps happen.
