In a double room, both patients may receive visitors at the same time. Make arrangements with each other to avoid large crowds in the room.

Chemotherapy
-
If you are admitted for chemotherapy treatment, the nurse will provide you with more information using an informative leaflet (chemo guide).
You will be given a 'Symptom burden during treatment' diary. This will help you record the discomforts you experience at home and talk about them with your healthcare providers afterwards. This way, they can take the necessary action to reduce your symptoms.

Care team









Extra support - The social worker
Are you worried about your illness, family, work or financial situation? Both you and your family members are welcome to have a confidential conversation with the social worker.
The social worker will work together with you to find solutions, give advice on social services to which you are entitled and will help you with questions about insurance and certificates. If needed, the social worker will refer you to external services.
Ask the nurse or call in person on +32 16 34 86 20.
In need of conversation or a listening ear? Ask for the pastor.
Illness and hospitalisation are often thought-provoking. Do you need a quiet, confidential conversation?
There is a pastor working in the ward who - regardless of your philosophy of life - can lend a listening ear if you are having a difficult time or have life questions.
Ask for a pastor via the nurse.
