The chemotherapy team requested three additional heat pads to enhance comfort and care for chemotherapy patients, and thanks to your donations to the SASH Cancer Fund we have successfully funded three new heat pads for the chemotherapy suite at East Surrey Hospital. These heat pads play a crucial role in improving the experience for patients undergoing chemotherapy, particularly in making veins more accessible during treatment.
Chemotherapy patients often face challenges with accessing veins, which can be exacerbated by the treatment process. The newly funded heat pads significantly aid in making veins more visible, thereby easing the process of intravenous access and reducing discomfort for patients.
Some feedback from the chemotherapy team in the difference the heat pads are making...
"Not only do these heat pads help in accessing veins more easily, but they also contribute to making our patients' visits more comfortable"
"For patients using the cold cap machine to prevent hair loss, the heat pads are particularly beneficial as they enhance overall comfort during their treatment"
The funding of three additional heat pads comes at a welcomed time, ensuring that every patient receives the comfort and care they deserve.
"We are incredibly grateful for your donations to the SASH Charity Cancer Fund"
