Description

The ONS Immunotherapy Patient Wallet Card is intended to communicate with healthcare providers who are not involved with a patient’s cancer treatment. Should your patient need to be seen by his/her primary care provider or in the emergency room, as an example, the card should be provided at the time of service to alert the care team of the following:

The patient is receiving cancer treatment with immunotherapy agents

The common side effects of immunotherapy agents

Management of immunotherapy side effects may require a different approach than those of chemotherapy

Oncology providers should be alerted prior to making any change in immunotherapy treatment regimens

Thank you Missy! I hand wrote ones for my mom to keep in her phone case with contact numbers (especially when she was on PV-10 which could scare the average ER person lol). I would emphasize the name of the drugs -and all drugs patient is on - and specific AEs on the card though (colitis, perforation, etc). Good point about these NOT being chemo. It really bugs me when nurses and doctors think all these treatments are the same thing that they learned about in school- makes my job a lot harder.
