How does a course of cancer medicines usually unfold?
- 1
Planning
Reports are read, missing tests are done and the tumour board agrees the order of treatment. You receive a written plan and a written cost estimate before anything is given.
- 2
The first rounds
These are watched most closely. The team learns how your body handles the drugs, and the anti-sickness and other support medicines are adjusted to suit you.
- 3
The mid-course scan
Part-way through, a scan usually shows whether the cancer is shrinking, holding steady or growing. The plan continues, changes or moves on to surgery or radiotherapy depending on the answer.
- 4
Finishing the main course
Side effects ease over the following weeks. Some people continue a lighter treatment or tablets at home to keep the cancer in check.
- 5
Follow-up
Regular check-ups, at gaps your oncologist sets. You are told which new symptoms should bring you back before the next visit is due. The gaps usually grow longer as time passes without trouble.
How do the main cancer medicines differ for you?
Targeted therapy
What it usually means for you: Often tablets; only used when a tumour test finds the right change
Immunotherapy
What it usually means for you: A drip every few weeks; side effects can affect the skin, gut or glands
Hormone therapy
What it usually means for you: Tablets or injections, often for a long time, with regular reviews
Chemotherapy with radiotherapy
What it usually means for you: Given together for some cancers, with the two doctors planning the timing

How can the family help someone on chemotherapy?
The person caring at home often notices problems first. These are the things that make the biggest difference.
Keep one folder
All reports, prescriptions and treatment cards in one place, in date order. Bring it to every visit, and to any emergency department.
Watch for fever
Keep a thermometer at home. A fever during chemotherapy needs emergency care the same day, even if the patient seems fine otherwise.
Help with food and water
Small, fresh, home-cooked meals and plenty of clean water. If eating drops off for more than a couple of days, tell the team.
Write questions down
Questions come at night and vanish in the clinic. A short list on paper means the important ones get asked.
Look after yourself
Caring is tiring. Share the load with other relatives where you can. The care team can talk with you as well as the patient.
Keep the numbers handy
Save the care team's number and the nearest emergency department's address in every family member's phone. In a crisis at night, nobody should be searching for them.
Where is CION L.B. Nagar, and what is done there?
Consultations with Dr. T. Raghavender Reddy and chemotherapy both happen at CION L.B. Nagar. Operations and radiotherapy do not. If your plan includes either, your team names the centre that gives it and shares the estimate before you decide.
1Address and hours
CION Cancer Clinics, Ground floor, Anu Arcade, H.No. 3-4-148, near L.B. Nagar Metro Station, RTC Colony, L.B. Nagar, Hyderabad 500074. It is beside the Metro station and about two minutes from the L.B. Nagar bus stop. The centre is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
2Who comes here
Patients travel from Vanasthalipuram, Nagole, Hayathnagar, Dilsukhnagar, Uppal and Saroornagar. Being on the ground floor and next to the Metro helps patients who tire easily, and families who come by public transport after work.
3Between treatment days
You will not see the oncologist only on chemotherapy days. Blood tests, reviews and scan results bring you back in between. Many families find it easier to keep these short visits when the centre is on their own side of the city, rather than losing half a day in traffic for a short check.
Good to know
The centre is not an emergency department. For fever, bleeding or sudden breathlessness during treatment, go to the nearest emergency department first.
What do families in east Hyderabad worry about needlessly?
Myth
"Chemotherapy and radiotherapy cannot be given together."
What is true: For several cancers they are given together on purpose, because the medicine helps the radiation work better. The two specialists plan the doses and timing jointly.
Myth
"If the cancer has spread, medicines are pointless."
What is true: Medicines are often the main treatment for spread cancer. They can shrink it, ease pain and give people more good time. Your oncologist should be honest about what is realistic.
Myth
"Hair loss is permanent."
What is true: When chemotherapy causes hair loss, the hair usually grows back after treatment ends. It may come back a little different in texture at first.
Myth
"Switching drugs means the doctor got it wrong."
What is true: Cancers can stop responding to a drug over time. Changing to another one is a normal step, planned for from the start.
What happens at the first appointment?
- The oncologist reads every report you bring, old and new
- An examination and questions about other illnesses and medicines
- A plain explanation of what is known and what is still missing
- Any further tests explained, with where each is done
- Your case booked for discussion at the tumour board
- Help from the care team with insurance paperwork

Questions about a medical oncologist in LB Nagar
Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.
1Who is the medical oncologist at CION L.B. Nagar?
Dr. T. Raghavender Reddy sees patients at CION L.B. Nagar. He is trained in both medical oncology and radiation oncology. He plans cancer medicines with CION's surgical and radiation colleagues, and plans are reviewed at a tumour board before treatment begins.
2Is chemotherapy given at the L.B. Nagar centre?
Yes. Chemotherapy is given at CION L.B. Nagar, usually as day-care, so most people go home the same day. Your oncologist tells you in advance if a particular treatment needs a hospital stay, and where that would be.
3Is radiotherapy given at L.B. Nagar?
No. Radiotherapy is not given at this centre. If your plan needs it, your care team names the centre that gives it and explains what the travel involves. Radiotherapy usually means going in every weekday for several weeks, so ask about this early.
4How close is the centre to the Metro?
It is beside L.B. Nagar Metro Station, on the ground floor of Anu Arcade in RTC Colony, and about two minutes from the L.B. Nagar bus stop. The care team can share directions when you book.
5Can I bring a plan from another hospital for review?
Yes. Bring the written plan, the names and doses of any drugs already given, and every report. The oncologist will tell you whether he agrees, and if not, why. A review does not tie you to having treatment at CION.
6Does CION L.B. Nagar help with insurance?
CION's team helps with cashless insurance and gives you a written estimate before you start. Bring your insurance card and policy details to the first visit so the paperwork can begin straight away.
7What are the opening hours?
Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Doctors' days can vary, so confirm your appointment before you travel. On a chemotherapy day, the care team will tell you when to arrive for your blood test.
8Can a family member come first without the patient?
Yes. A relative can bring the reports and hear an explanation of the findings and likely next steps. The oncologist will still need to see the patient before any treatment is planned in detail or given.
