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.
