Chemotherapy
At COHA, the administration of chemotherapy is a major component of the practice of oncology and hematology. Chemotherapy is a combination of medicines used in the treatment of cancer and can be administered as pills, or more commonly given by intravenous (IV) infusions.
Specialized and certified chemotherapy nurses in our offices give IV chemotherapy. Even before chemotherapy is given our nurses administer anti-nausea medications and help patients get comfortably settled in reclining chairs.
The primary side effects of chemotherapy include low blood counts, nausea and vomiting, hair loss, mouth sores and diarrhea.
