CHEMOTHERAPY / INFUSION
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
Infusion is the administration of fluids, including chemotherapy and blood products, into the bloodstream of patients who require them.
More than half of all people diagnosed with cancer receive chemotherapy, treatments that use drugs to kill affected cells. For millions of people who have conditions that respond well to chemotherapy, this approach helps them to enjoy full, productive lives. Many side effects once associated with chemotherapy are now easily prevented or controlled, allowing many people to work, travel and participate in normal activities while receiving treatment.
Our infusion area features 90 comfortable infusion chairs situated in a naturally lit, open space. To pass the time, the center offers a variety of pleasant distractions – including Wi-Fi, reading materials and plenty of windows – all contributing to the warm, caring environment.
