Chemotherapy & Cancer Care at Home
A cancer diagnosis is hard enough without the added stress of frequent hospital trips. For suitable patients, select chemotherapy injections and full supportive cancer care can be provided at home - under your oncologist's guidance - along with comfort, dignity and family closeness.
What we help arrange
Subcutaneous chemotherapy injections
Certain chemotherapy and supportive injections that your oncologist has approved for home administration, given by trained nurses.
Supportive nursing care
Pain management, hydration, hygiene, and monitoring for cancer patients at home.
Palliative & comfort care
Working alongside our Palliative Care service for advanced-stage comfort and dignity.
Nutrition & emotional support
Coordination with dietitians and a caring team for the patient and family.
Important - what home chemotherapy does and does not cover
Only select chemotherapy regimens (such as certain subcutaneous or intramuscular drugs) can be safely given at home, and only when your treating oncologist has confirmed the patient is suitable. High-dose intravenous (IV) chemotherapy that needs hydration, continuous monitoring or anaphylaxis observation must be given at a hospital day-care unit - this is not something we can replace.
Why families choose this
- Lower infection risk - especially important as cancer treatment can weaken immunity.
- Comfort and dignity - treatment in familiar surroundings, with family close by.
- Less travel fatigue - very helpful for patients who are already weak or unwell.
- Coordinated care - nursing, nutrition and comfort support working together.
