Yes, they are perfectly safe to be around pregnant women, 'Cancers' are not contageous in the sense that just being around someone can cause you to get it.. however if they have recently been treated with chemo (a few hours, days ago) you may want to keep a little distance as some chemicals used in hospitals are not safe for pregnant women- but in general, you should be perfectly fine if you are pregnant around someone undergoing chemo. As long as the person isn't sick with a contageous illness on top of whatever they've been diagnosed with- like strep throat, flu, bronchitus etc.
She can't get pregnant after the chemo she had.
“Have colon cancer, getting chemo and employer dropped insurance coverage and COBRA is $700/month.”
Normally, a patient on chemo doesn't need to avoid someone who had chickenpox vaccine. Talk with your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.
It really depends on the individual. How bad off they are, what they are getting the chemo to treat, etc.. So it wouldn't be a fair statistic to group all chemo patients together based just solely on the fact they are receiving chemo
you could die from toxicity
theres no such thing as chemo cancer but chemo (chemotherepy) is a treatment for cancer
I know cancer is one of them. It relieves symptoms of chemo.
Seriously? First, its spelled CHEMO as in chemotherapy for people with CANCER...........The answer to "getting rid of a baby" is how about keeping your legs shut unless your using protection and DON'T GET PREGNANT IN THE FIRST PLACE! Good lord................you are some kind of something hon.
Everything an individual does affects them; good or bad. To support a Chemo patient means to be there through the good and bad times they may have. Chemo (depending on how much Chemo they will be getting and the length of time) can leave the person feeling sick to their stomach; weak; sometimes depressed and in some cases the loss of hair; perhaps eyebrows and eyelashes can cause further depression. If you feel you can be there 100% for them then you should be. Many Chemo patients are amazing and take their treatments with few complaints.
Chemo - comics - was created in 1962.
You REALLY SHOULDN'T be trying to get pregnant while on chemotherapy. Chemo are VERY STRONG drugs that can easily damage the unborn baby. Bad, bad decision. The worst thing about it is that it's the child that ends up paying for the parent's recklessness.
