Here are some tips for a person who's getting chemo:
* Get plenty of sleep.
* Eat healthy meals and drink plenty of fluids.
* Wash hands regularly, especially before eating, after using the bathroom, and after touching animals. This helps to prevent infection.
* Avoid large crowds and anyone who has a cold, the flu, or chicken pox. It's not a good time to get sick.
After chemo is over, the person will need to visit the doctor for checkups. The doctor will want to know how the person is feeling and check to see if the chemo did its job treating the cancer.
If you know someone who has cancer, the person will appreciate your phone calls, email messages, cards and letters, and visits. Let the person know you care and still want to spend time together.
And if you're a kid who has cancer, let your friends know you want to see them. Sometimes, people stay away because they think they might get in the way, don't know if you're allowed to have visitors, or are worried they'll disturb you if you're resting. As long as your doctor and your parent say it's OK, get together with your friends and have some fun!
