This Christmas, we're inviting you to share a message of comfort, hope or encouragement for patients like Sue spending the festive season receiving treatment.
Our Day Therapy Unit
Our Day Therapy Unit cares for around 100 patients every day. What began with 36 donor-funded treatment chairs in 2013 has grown into one of NSW's busiest intravenous cancer treatment facilities, helping people access chemotherapy, immunotherapy and other treatments transforming cancer care.
As new therapies help people with cancer live longer, Day Therapy is delivering increasingly sophisticated care to more patients than ever before. From these chairs, patients access life-changing treatments while receiving the compassionate care and support that makes Chris O'Brien Lifehouse so special.
“While we can’t take away what’s happening for our patients, we can decrease the burden of cancer, and that includes supporting patient comfort during lengthy treatment sessions.”
Leanne Enright, Nurse Unit Manager
Happy festive season
