What to expect caring for someone starting this
What to expect caring for someone starting this
Hello Mum25
I'm sorry to hear that someone you care for is about to start IV chemotherapy. It's understandable that this may be an anxious time and that you might have questions about what to expect.
We have some information on our website about chemotherapy that may be helpful for you, as well as information about how to support someone with cancer. Your loved one should be given contact details of a specialist nurse and/or treatment team that they/you can contact if there are any concerns following their treatment. Don't be afraid to reach out to them if you have any worries.
If it would help to talk things through with one of our nurses at any point you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can.
I hope that things go smoothly for you both.
Best wishes,
Jenn
