Follow-Up Blood Tests

Chemotherapy drugs are designed to kill cancer cells, however some normal cells are also damaged in the process. You will be carefully monitored by regular blood tests during your treatment course. We will provide you with the necessary blood request form to take with you to your local pathology collection centre.

A member of our oncology team will review your blood results. You do not need to contact the NCI for your blood results, unless directed to by a member of our oncology team. We will contact you if there are any problems with your results.

PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE A BLOOD TEST ONE DAY BEFORE EACH CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENT, UNLESS OTHERWISE INSTRUCTED.
