Chemotherapy precautions...

Chemotherapy is so potent and so poisonous that there are many precautions that all patients (and family members) should take.
• flush any toilet twice that you use for the first 48 hours after chemotherapy. 
• two forms of birth control should be used while on chemotherapy and for six months afterwards.
• all soiled laundry or linens with any bodily fluids (after the first 48 hours) should be handled with gloves and washed separately from other clothing. These items should be kept separately in their own garbage bag until they can be washed.
• if chemotherapy or body waste touches skin, immediately wash thoroughly with soap and water.
• when cleaning the bathroom in particular, you should wear gloves to avoid any inadvertent exposure to chemotherapy.
