Hi, Just wondering if I can sleep in the same bed as my partner who is receiving chemotherapy every three weeks? Google doesn t tell me much! And I m just wondering as a wife if there is anything I cannot do, and if second hand chemo is a thing? Thanks so much.
Dear Mam, i understand your concerns about you and your partners safety. Since your partner is on chemotherapy this will make his immune system weak. And hence if you have any kind of infection especially ones that can be transmitted by inhalation like flu for example then you shouldn't sleep next to him, and it is preferable not to have a contact with him when you are sick. Other than that there are no other concerns. It is actually beneficial for your partner while on chemotherapy to be well surrounded by those who love him and feel supported. Best regards
