Chemo Around the House

The only other thing that I was told was no unprotected sex for those 48 hours ...

I was told about flushing twice, and not exposing my bodily fluids(🤤😂) to others, 48 hours,that was because of Adriamycn, or the Red Devil as we called it, can affect others if exposed. Wasn't really a problem, as I never vomited from chemo, the nausea meds worked well. I did have other intestinal issues, so I cleaned my bathroom myself, just not to expose my husband, not that he ever cleaned bathrooms anyway😉 About laundry, I think just do as usual. Keep your girlfriend away from sick people as much as possible, keep hand sanitizer with you always, I carried a mask with me too, esp to Dr appts lot of sick people at Dr office. That said life can go on during chemo! I still went to the gym ,except for a few days each cycle. I was weaker, but felt better keeping to my normal routines as much as possible 💖Best wishes to you and g f.P.S. one thing helped me ,my dr never told me. Neulasta, given each cycle, causes intense bone pain that jumps around your body. I found out, by taking Claritin, the day of chemo and 3or 4 days after,cuts the bone pain in half! Big difference.
