Treatment for a blood infection after chemotherapy

"Treatment for a blood infection after chemotherapy"

About: Community Health Services / Phlebotomy Whiston Hospital / Clinical haematology

(as the patient),

In 2005 I was told I had ovarian cancer, which was progressive. I am still having chemo, this is my 4th course so I have had a lot of blood taken.

Recently I had to go into hospital for a blood infection, my stay in hospital was made much better by the care I was given by nursing staff which was very good.

The phlebotomy service I can only say in 7 years has been excellent both in hospital and at home. They are very friendly and make you feel special. In 7 years I have seen a Macmillan nurse just once. If I need a district nurse I pick up the phone and one will come, fortunately I am still pretty active and can do things for myself.
