We have designed our chemotherapy services in Nairobi to be as comfortable, safe, and effective as possible, ensuring you never have to navigate this path alone.

Moving Beyond Traditional Chemotherapy What to Expect During Your Treatment

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Chemotherapy

What should I do to prepare for my first session?

We suggest eating a light meal, staying hydrated, and bringing a book or tablet for entertainment. Most importantly, ensure you have a consultation with Dr. Noordin Bashir Somo beforehand to review your blood work and address any specific anxieties you may have.

How will I feel during and after treatment?

Every patient reacts differently depending on the specific drug combination used. While some feel mild fatigue, others may experience nausea or changes in appetite. Our integrated supportive care team works alongside you to manage these side effects proactively, using advanced medications and nutritional guidance to keep you as comfortable as possible.

Can I continue to work or exercise?

Many of our patients maintain a modified work schedule and light physical activity. We recommend listening to your body; our specialists will help you create a personalized lifestyle plan that balances your treatment cycles with your daily routine.

How long does a typical session last?

A session can range from 30 minutes to several hours depending on your personalized treatment roadmap. Our modern infusion suite is designed for your comfort, featuring relaxing seating and constant monitoring by our oncology-trained nurses to ensure a smooth experience.

Will chemotherapy be the only treatment I receive?

Not necessarily. At Shabaha, we specialize in combination therapy. Depending on your diagnosis, we may pair chemotherapy with Targeted Therapy to attack specific cancer markers or Immunotherapy (such as our Nivolumab Access Program) to boost your natural immune response.
