Bring something with you to read, your mobile phone or tablet, and any other items that will help to make you comfortable, such as a blanket or slippers. Many treatments are several hours long, and you will be sitting or lying down during this time. If you have questions for your doctor or nurse, write them down and bring them with you, so that we can talk them through and assist you on the journey.
Treatments are in multiple cycles and can be time sensitive. It is important to attend your treatment sessions on time and at the scheduled time only. We will not be able to accommodate earlier unscheduled times as this impacts the care of others. Changes to your treatment may be necessary, and our skilled clinicians will work with you to ensure the best treatment plan is applied.
It is important that you discuss your current health with the nursing staff – please advise them if you feel unwell or have a fever. There is a possibility that your medication may be a customized infusion that needs time to be prepared in the pharmacy. There may be a wait prior to the start of your treatment, and your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated. This is to ensure that you receive the safest and most effective therapy available.
