my fourth cycle of chemo treatment is booked at Tuesday, 22nd of April. This need the blood test in 3 days, other it would be invalid. I forgot it is the day after Easter bank holidays, all the blood test centre in Coventry are going to closed from Friday 18th to Monday 21st. I have surgery arranged after this Chemo, so I can not afford to delay it. Is there any suggestion about where I can get the blood test done in during Easter bank holiday?
Many thanks!
Hi Lily2025
I would suggest giving the chemo ward a call and asking them.
I had regular bloods taken at my GP surgery before chemo but would also have them done at the hospital on the day of chemo. I would be given blood test appointment early on and then go to the chemo ward for the treatment. Sometimes I waited but the results would normally be back within the hour.

thanks very much, Jane for your help!I will contact the oncology ward today!I had been blood test once at the day for treatment but the results came back too late, after 5 hours so they have to reschedule my in fusion to other days.
I will let you know once I sort it out.
