My treatment involves being given medication intravenously, what does this mean for me?

Intravenously means that the medication is given directly into your bloodstream through one of your veins. If this is the case, you may need a temporary intravenous needle inserted into one of your veins, usually into your arm or the back of your hand. You may have a central venous access device, sometimes called a central line, already
inserted by your referring hospital into one of your larger veins. Central lines will remain in place for the duration of your treatment and possibly longer if required. Either of these devices allow our clinicians to administer your intravenous treatment safely and effectively.
