If you experience a life-threatening medical emergency, immediately call 911. Upon arrival at the emergency room, ask the staff to call your cancer center physician. If you feel that you need immediate consultation or advice regarding a serious condition, do not hesitate to call us.
If your call is received after business hours, the physician on call will be paged on your behalf and will respond quickly. Since your call may not be returned by your personal physician, you should be prepared to provide the following information:
- Your diagnosis
- Your chemotherapy drugs
- Your temperature
- Your pharmacy phone number
