The place you get your treatment depends on which chemo drugs you are getting, the drug doses, your hospital's policies, your insurance coverage, what you prefer, and what your doctor recommends.

You may be treated with chemo:

• at home
• in your doctor's office
• in a clinic
• in your hospital's outpatient department
• in a hospital

Some of these settings may have private treatment rooms, while others treat many patients together in one large room. It is important to be in a setting that is comfortable for you. Talk to your doctor ahead of time so that you know what to expect your first day.
