A member asked:

Can a leukemia patient go home after a day of treatment in the course? does the patient go home after evey day in the course or do they have to stay in the hospital?

Can be either or opt: If the patient is well(no fever and no serious side effects from chemo) then there is no particular reason to be in the hospital. But in the olden days, patients were admitted and remained in the hospital for 3-4 weeks during the first treatment. But increasingly chemotherapyy can be safely administered as outpatient, so more and more patients and doctors prefer to do treatments as outpatient
