Normally, a patient on chemo doesn't need to avoid someone who had chickenpox vaccine. Talk with your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.
My recommendation is NO. If you have a cough stay home and call on the phone. When a person goes through chemo their immune system is compromised, colds and coughs are easy to catch something a chemo patient does not need.
The cast of Chemo - 2010 includes: Hailee Lipscomb as Patient
Everything an individual does affects them; good or bad. To support a Chemo patient means to be there through the good and bad times they may have. Chemo (depending on how much Chemo they will be getting and the length of time) can leave the person feeling sick to their stomach; weak; sometimes depressed and in some cases the loss of hair; perhaps eyebrows and eyelashes can cause further depression. If you feel you can be there 100% for them then you should be. Many Chemo patients are amazing and take their treatments with few complaints.
for people undergoing chemo it is just alright to be near that person. however there is a certain type of radiation therapy wherein you need to keep your distance with that person. such form is called internal radiation therapy wherein the cancer patient will receive implantable radiation source. the best way for you to protect your pregnancy from chemo and radiation is to stay away from them. avoid handling chemo drugs and stay away from any radiation source.
I do not believe it is. My papa has cancer and is a chemo patient and it doesn't effect him. That's using Fresh Step. Although chemo patients should stay away from it because chemo makes you weak and vulnerable to sickness.
No, it is not true. Where did you get that 'information?'
If they are having Chemo - a sweater is a good gift. Patients doing Chemo seem to feel cold all the time. A lap-blanket is another gift idea. If not doing Chemo - give them something you know they will enjoy. Do they read? Do they like a certain kind of music? Give them a gift just like you would give to a person without cancer.
he means he gets a one guard with a bald sideburns and no chemo means he dont look like a cancer patient
yes.
I'm afraid not.
You can refuse any treatment you like, its your body.
