Planning Your Treatment
Depending on the type and location of your cancer, how advanced it is and the way that it responds to ECT, you are likely to require two or more treatments. The only exceptions are cancers of the skin, face and neck which usually only require a single treatment of approximately one hour.
Biolife Therapies can give you a more accurate indication of the number of therapy sessions that you would require. We recommend that you contact Biolife Therapies, so that we can arrange a consultation and initial teatment for you at our ECT clinic in Cologne.
1. For those with a busy lifestyle, and perhaps work commitments, we can arrange a seperate trip to Cologne for each individual treatment. There are regular flights to Cologne from many regional airports in The U.K. You may wish to fly to Cologne, then have ECT the following day and also return home that day. It is possible for your sessions to be scheduled over several months if you wish.
2. For patients who are less pressed for time, and those who may want to cut down on flights and travelling, you may consider a longer stay to complete all or a large part of your treatment in a single visit. Biolife Therapies can arrange your ECT therapy appointments as well as flight bookings and reservations at our recommended hotels.
Please remember that for ECT to be successful, each treatment must be carried out several days after the previous one.
