Chemotherapy Care Tips

  • Stay hydrated during chemotherapy
  • Practice good hygiene to prevent infections
  • Eat small frequent meals to manage nausea
  • Tell your doctor about ALL side effects
  • Don't use 'alternative cancer cures' instead of proven treatment

How to Prepare for Chemotherapy

Before Your Visit

  • Complete baseline investigations — blood counts, kidney and liver function, echocardiography if needed
  • Get a dental check-up — dental infections during chemotherapy can become serious
  • Discuss fertility preservation before starting treatment — sperm/egg banking should happen first
  • Arrange support for treatment days — bring a companion, as sessions can last 2-6 hours

During the Appointment

  • Stay hydrated — drink 2-3 litres of water on chemotherapy days to protect kidneys
  • Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed — prevention is better than treating established nausea
  • Report fever above 100.4°F immediately — febrile neutropenia is a medical emergency during chemo
  • Eat small frequent meals — cold or room temperature foods are often better tolerated

After the Visit

  • Avoid crowded places for 7-14 days after each cycle when immunity is lowest
  • Monitor for mouth sores — use prescribed mouth rinses and soft bland diet
  • Keep a symptom diary to discuss at next visit — helps adjust supportive medications
  • Complete the full course of treatment — stopping early reduces effectiveness

  5. 5.Will I lose my hair, and is it permanent?
  6. 6.Can I get genetic testing for my tumour?
