Chemotherapy Classes

Chemotherapy Classes

Chemotherapy (chemo) usually refers to the use of medicines or drugs to treat cancer. The thought of having chemotherapy frightens many people. But knowing what chemotherapy is, how it works, and what to expect can often help calm your fears. It can also give you a better sense of control over your cancer treatment. At NYOH, we want you to feel confident about your treatment. That means getting your questions answered. At our small group chemotherapy classes, patients beginning chemotherapy and their caregivers learn how chemotherapy affects the body and how to prepare for side effects like hair loss and fatigue. Taught by experienced nurse educators, these sessions also provide an opportunity to ask questions.
