I was concerned that I would be transferring to my husband and asked the oncologist about it before ever taking it. He seemed confident that it was such a small amount of chemo that it wouldn't affect him. Hope you find a definite answer.
Thank you. I wasn't bothered but sorry to be crude but this is 3 or 4 times a week not now and again. I am wondering if I should maybe get bloods done to check. The rash I have at present is not an allergic reaction. I've not had a rash like this before. I can't go to docs as they are closed. I would think its more a problem (if there is one when the man is on chemo).
When I started hydroxy we were given some printed info sheets and they recommended using condoms as there was a risk of transfer. We decided not to worry as was minimum amount but it definitely mentioned it. Will see if Ican find the sheet at some point to check if there was any more information.
Thank you. We were given nothing. We weren't even told about PV - had to find out for ourselves. I know cancer uk says about condoms but the general consensus seems to be wear if likely to get pregnant.
