When you are coming in for labs, the laboratory will ask you if you are fasting. It does not mean you need to be fasting. For the majority of people, you do not need to be fasting before blood work for chemo.

We love for our people to eat and drink, so it is rare for you to need to be fasting before blood work. Please verify this with your doctor- but most people are ok to eat and drink before going to get labs done for chemo.

Sometimes your doctor will recommend for you to get a central line. It is always your right to decline to get treatment or a central line. It is your doctor’s responsibility to help explain why they recommend a central line.

There are some medications that require you to have a central line, and if you decline to get one- the doctor will have to change your treatment plan. Many times I find that understanding the why behind the recommendation makes a big difference.

If your doctor recommends a central line like a PICC or Port for your chemo- it is a safety thing. There are certain meds that must be given through a central line and there are many benefits to following that guidance.

Did your doctor recommend a central line for you?

When people are getting chemotherapy, your doctor may recommend for you to get a central line. This could mean you need a PICC line or a Port-a-cath.

Many times a PICC line is recommended if your treatment will be less than six months.

A port is a surgical procedure that will implant the device under your skin for treatment.

When people go into the office and hear the words ‘you have cancer’ it is an extremely overwhelming and traumatic experience. Often times a lot of information is shared, but little is understood or remembered because it’s so stressful.

I always recommend to take home all the papers the doctor give you, often times they give you paperwork with the names of the medications or chemo they recommend and how often the treatment will be.

The office will also follow up to go over the treatment plan and help answer questions.

It is also common for people to be sent to get special blood work done to see if certain mutations may be found that would give your oncologist additional options for treatments. This is not for every type of cancer- but is done for many.

It can be helpful to try and get multiple tasks done during those doctors visits so you don’t have to go back and forth whenever possible.

It’s ok to ask a ton of questions and to tell your team if you don’t understand information… it’s all new and we are here to walk you through the process.

Were you overwhelmed when you first got a cancer diagnosis? What helped for you?

Your cancer treatment is customized to you based on the results of your pathology, imaging, and labs. This means that your treatment will be based on years of research and clinical trials that tell doctors what treatment will give you the best results.

It is common to see people with a same cancer type receive different chemotherapy and that is ok. It all depends on what the evidence shows is most effective for getting rid of those specific cancer cells.

There are a lot of different chemotherapy medications. Some are injections, while some are infusions that can be as short as 10 mins, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and up to 46 hours on a pump to take home for others! Your doctor will look at your entire case and make a recommendation for what is most appropriate for you.

When people are on chemotherapy, we ask a lot of questions to fully make sure we know what is going on. One of those questions is if someone has had any falls. This may seem like a silly question but it gives your healthcare team some valuable information.

If someone is having frequent falls, we want to know about that. Falls can lead to injuries and for some- even hospitalization.

Falls can sometimes mean someone is needing further assistance in managing symptoms we may not be aware of. This is an opportunity for your nurse to provide further education and make sure you’re able to do the things you want to do… Safely!

Does your nurse or doctor ask you if you’ve had any falls?

When we check your labs we are also making sure your absolute neutrophil count is not too high. Often when people are on chemo we would expect your ANC to be low- but some people find their ANC to be elevated.

Some people are on medication to help their bone marrow produce the immune system cells… so that can cause the levels to be elevated.

Sometimes the levels are high and that can mean we would investigate to see if there are any symptoms of infection.

Your doctor keeps a close eye on all your labs, but it’s helpful to know if you ever see your levels are elevated!

When you’re looking at your blood work, many people see the BUN and creatinine. These are labs that indicate how your kidneys are doing.

If your kidney levels are elevated that may indicate that you are dehydrated and need to drink more fluids. If you are on a fluid restriction, that advice is not for you! But if you notice your levels are elevated, make sure you’re talking with your doctor about what may be helpful for you so you can keep your kidneys happy and healthy!

When people are getting chemotherapy, I always want to remind people that your doctor doesn’t know what is going on unless you are telling them. I can’t tell you how many times I have had people tell me they had symptoms and didn’t know what to do.

As healthcare providers, we can’t feel what you are feeling… so if something is going on you need to let your healthcare team know.

Many times your healthcare team has seen these symptoms before and can help give you ideas of how to better manage them. They also are able to see if there are other solutions they can recommend to help improve your symptoms. We are often able to set people up with hydration or whatever supports would be helpful.

Many people want to do alternative therapies or holistic treatments in addition to chemotherapy. Many times holistic and alternative therapies can work well together- but it is really important to make sure your oncologist is aware of all medications and supplements you are taking.

There are many meds that have not been adequately studied yet, so sometimes the oncologist may recommend to hold off on certain interventions while on chemo so we don’t cause any interactions or adverse responses.

This is also true for people who receive radiation as certain supplements can interfere with the work the radiation is doing.

I always tell people to write down all supplements or meds, dose, and frequency and give it to your doctor so your med list is updated and shows everything you are taking. Having an updated medication list is really important!
