Chemotherapy

What you wish to know about Chemotherapy
(Introduction)

This booklet has been created thanks to the support of "the Friends of the Bordet Institute" and is essentially intended for patients undergoing chemotherapy.

A good understanding of your chemotherapy treatment will improve its chances of success …
The purpose of this booklet is to help you to live better with this "ally" against your disease that can have a number of side effects. These side effects are easier to "cope with" when you know them and when you use the means to fight them efficiently in due time.
Docteur Martine J. Piccart-Gebhart

Let us work together for a while !
We will be seeing each other regularly for several months. The dialogue between you and us and your cooperation are essential conditions for us to help you in the best possible way.

Do not hesitate to ask questions on the side effects of your treatment as well as on temporary difficulties you will have to face.
This hospital also has an active collaborating social service that can help you finding solutions to some of your family or financial problems.

Should you feel a little distressed temporarily, tell yourself that it is absolutely normal. If you wish to be supported during this more "sullen" period, contact us, we are always there to listen to you and to help you.
