Preparing for cancer treatment

This section provides information to help you prepare for cancer treatment, including guidance on prehabilitation and what to expect if you need a PICC line.

Prehabilitation (prehab) is a programme designed to help you prepare for cancer treatment by improving your physical health, nutrition, and mental wellbeing.

PICC Lines are inserted into the arm and used to deliver treatment such as chemotherapy, antibiotics or intravenous fluids.

We hope this information will help you feel informed, supported and more confident as you get ready for treatment.
