There are several ways drugs can be given for cancer. Some can be taken as pills or capsules, but the majority are given through an intravenous drip. They may sometimes be delivered straight into a body cavity such as the bladder or abdomen. Most can now be given via an outpatients clinic.

Chemotherapy suites with comfortable reclining chairs and a bright, supportive atmosphere have sprung up throughout cancer-treatment centres. These are usually run by nurses, who are expert at dealing with the administration of chemotherapy. They are huge founts of knowledge about the side-effects, any likely problems that may be encountered and how to deal with them creatively.
