When my husband was on chemo, I remember being told that he should have his own toilet - and to always put the lid down before flushing, so that no 'micro drops' of chemo could get into the air & be breathed in ...
It was during covid, so we were quite anal about wearing masks & staying away from other people, as we couldn't afford for him (or me) to get ill.
His overnight chemo tube leaked once, so I had to bag it all up in the wee small hours (wearing rubber gloves) and I triple bagged it, to be sure it couldn't leak further, as it was a pump & kept pumping ...
Sadly, It looks like covid is well & truly on the rise again, so that risk is still very real ..... Quite a few of my friends & family have had it in the last 2 months ..... I still haven't had it at all yet. I had the most recent shot before Xmas (6th one.)
take care xx
