Controlling risk of infection on treatment
Hi again, My husband is going crazy cleaning everything and insisting that my dogs sleep outside ect before i start my treatment, what are everyones thoughts on the animals and how did you all avoid ...
It’s lovely that your husband is concerned! Many people have had little or no infection during treatment, so just take normal precautions. Main thing is usually high temperatures, treat them seriously and get treatment. It’s often sensible to keep at a distance, if possible, from people you know have easily transmitted ailments such as flu or even bad colds, but to be honest I didn’t find I got things any more easily. I had animals (dog and cats), all in the house - again, normal precautions, washing hands, etc. I got a couple of infections but they were caused by a persistent seroma and the germs that caused them were internal and were all my own!! Best wishes.
