PREPARING FOR CHEMOTHERAPY:

STAY SAFE AROUND KIDS

CHEMO WEAKENS IMMUNITY

Chemotherapy lowers white blood cells, making infections easier to catch. Extra care is needed to stay safe.

CHILDREN CAN CARRY ILLNESSES

Kids may carry viruses like flu or chickenpox that are dangerous for chemo patients.

KNOW NEUTROPENIA

Low white blood cells (neutropenia) weaken your immune system, making infections more risky during chemotherapy.

LIMIT CONTACT WITH KIDS

Avoid close contact during high-risk periods. Use masks, handwashing, and distance.

LOOK AT THE BLOG

SAFE INTERACTIONS

Use video calls, separate rooms, or outdoor activities with distance to stay connected safely.

HOME SAFETY TIPS

Keep a clean zone, disinfect surfaces, and improve air circulation to prevent infection.

WATCH FOR INFECTION

Fever, chills, or unusual tiredness can be dangerous. Contact your doctor immediately.

REBUILD IMMUNITY

Eat healthy, follow your doctor’s advice, and gradually return to normal activities.
