Sorry to see you here @BenAbbyArchie3, in the club no-one really wants to join - but you are in the right spot for getting support and tips on getting thru this shitfest! I hope you can work out a pattern soon for your subsequent doses. Yep, keep an eye on that temp - hopefully no more midnight flits to Casualty!
Whilst I didn't have chemo, my husband did for his cancer & he just got VERY tired after about day 4 & put himself to bed for about 3 days and we just stayed away from sick people all the time. As @Shellshocked2018_ said re using his own toilet & drinking heaps to flush the chemo out. Hubby also had to be very careful in the sun, as his regime made his skin very sensitive to the sun. His taste buds also had everything tasting like metal - so he went off eating for a while & dropped weight (couldn't afford to as he was only 50kg at the time!) & I had to find stuff that he WOULD eat (even Maccas & KFC) if that was what he 'could' eat. Treat yourself!
Take care & all the best for you ongoing treatment xx . big hugs coming to you in cyberspace xx
