Hello and thank you for posting on Cancer Chat,

I am sorry to hear that your wife is receiving cancer treatment and that she now has Covid-19.  I think the treatment you are asking about is antibody treatment that is given to people that are at the highest risk of becoming very unwell with Covid-19. It is given to reduce any serious symptoms they might get. 

Reading the information on the NHS website about what treatment is given and how it is given it looks like she could be offered IV treatment and this is usually given in an infusion over 1/2 hr.  Obviously  you will know more when you get to the hospital.  You can read more about this treatment and why it is given on the NHS website here 

I hope your wife will be okay. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Take care,

Caroline
