Day care · You go home the same day
Chemotherapy uses medicines to kill cancer cells or stop them growing. Most people have it as a day-care drip or as tablets, and go home the same day.
Your medical oncologist plans each cycle around your cancer, your blood counts and how you feel.
What to expect, from the first consultation to your cycles.
Your doctor examines you, reads your reports and checks whether chemotherapy is right for you.
CION’s tumour board reviews your case, and your doctor explains the medicines, the schedule and the side effects.
A blood test checks that your body is ready for the next cycle, so it can be given safely.
You get your medicine in a day-care chair while nurses watch over you, then go home the same day.
Chemotherapy is planned by CION’s medical oncologists and given by trained oncology nurses. Doctors you can see in the Vizag region are marked.
The medicines and doses are chosen for your cancer type, stage and overall health.
Blood counts and side effects are checked at every cycle, and doses are changed if needed.
Medicines for nausea, diet advice and a 24/7 helpline between visits.
Treat cancer with medicines, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy.
