Where can I find information about chemotherapy treatment and side effects?

For information about chemotherapy treatment we have found the American Cancer Society website to be an excellent tool for patient education. For information about side effects we have found the People Living With Cancer website to be helpful.


Where do I receive chemotherapy?

Here at HOA we have our own chemotherapy suite to which you will be introduced.


May I bring a family member or friend with me during my visit to the Chemotherapy Suite?

Friends and family members are always welcome to accompany you to the office. However, out of respect to other patients and in order to accommodate all of our chemotherapy patients, only one person will be allowed to accompany you at a time in the chemotherapy suite. We also ask that you not bring anyone who is ill. Many of our patients have difficulty fighting infections. We also prefer that children remain at home, for their safety and the safety of our patients. If they must come with you, please supervise them closely.
