Thank you for this video! It is a good reminder of how to care for my husband. He is having 1 day a week of chemo for 3 weeks, then 1 week off for a duration of 6 months. I will be needing to do this every day, something I wasn’t aware of.

I hope he's treatment is going well, sending you good vibes. My mother-in-law has the same treatment cycle for her cancer.

I’m a support worker and I’ve just come across this which is very alarming. I have not been taking precautions at all when cleaning my clients bathroom and bed sheets. What risks am I exposed to?😮

[@jessyca9833]

What about saliva? If a mom cooks for her family and taste food as she goes and share with family members?

[@polanca75]

Saliva is a body fluid

@@polanca75 yeah I know, but I was trying to get my mother-in-law to believe me, but she didn't understand until she started to see her water bottle stain from every day usage. Thanks for replying though!

[@ijaaaaaa93]

Anything fluid comeout from the body of the person who having chemo generally we assume it as cytotoxic waste ( it contain the chemodrugs )...so it dangerous to other person ..
