Question about cancer treatment?

Hi All,

“Denise” above is correct. Do not give extra treatments on your own without the oncology team’s knowledge.
Blood checks are used to guide the treatment – the white blood cell counts must be monitored for dose adjustments.
What concerns me is that this should have been explained in detail by the oncologist and his or her oncology nurses. Your father should have been given all of this instruction. If you were with you dad at the time of his office visits, you both should have been informed about the need to monitor white blood counts.

If you did not accompany your father to the oncologist’s office, I strongly encourage you to do so. If you can’t – due to work or school – you will have to depend on your father remembering the information that the oncology team is providing for him. The problem is that many patients cannot remember what they have been told. They are frightened and in shock. A second set of ears can be very helpful to hear the advice given verbally in the office by the oncologist and the nurses..
