Chemotherapy
In preparation for your first chemotherapy treatment we would
recommend that you:
- Watch the UHBW video on
chemotherapy below or on YouTube.
- Read the Macmillan information on What Is Chemotherapy and watch the short
film.
- Read the Macmillan leaflet on the specific treatment regimen
you will be receiving. You can access this information on the Macmillan website.
This short film, developed within UHBW, will guide you through
some general information on chemotherapy and what side effects you
may experience whilst having the treatment.

assessment unit for patients who are receiving, or have recently
