Skipped 6th session of chemotherapy

I went for blood test and line care on Tuesday as I was going to have chemotherapy on Thursday. Got to hospital on Thursday only to find out that my chemotherapy is at different hospital. Nobody told me that and in my cancer book only the date and time was recorded. I am very annoyed that nobody pointed out to me that my chemotherapy is going to be somewhere else that day due to Easter. 
I have now have to wait until next week for appointment. 
Is it ok if I didn’t have my chemotherapy? 

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    I'm sorry you were not informed that your chemotherapy treatment was at another hospital. This must have been incredibly upsetting for you.

    A short delay in starting your chemotherapy (although frustrating) is unlikely to have an overall impact on your cancer.

    I hope things go smoothly for now on. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything through. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,

    Celene
