During chemotherapy treatment, the immune system weakens, making the individual more vulnerable to infections. Important precautions to take during this period are listed below:

* Avoid Crowded Environments: Avoid crowded places such as cinemas, theaters, markets, and bazaars as much as possible.
* Hygiene and Wound Care: Take a daily shower. Pay attention to maintaining skin integrity; avoid injuries during activities like nail trimming or shaving. Do not squeeze pimples. Carefully monitor any cuts, scrapes, or wounds for signs of infection. Clean the anal area gently after each bowel movement; inform your doctor if painful hemorrhoids develop.
* Animal Contact: Patients who keep pets at home must be particularly careful during the treatment period.
* Fever Monitoring: Keep a digital thermometer at home. If your fever reaches 38°C (100.4°F) or above, inform your doctor immediately.
* Vaccinations: Do not get live vaccines during chemotherapy treatment.
* Symptoms to Report to Your Doctor: Inform your doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms:
* Pain, burning, or frequent urination.
* Cough or phlegm.
* Redness or swelling around the nails.
* Mouth or throat pain.
* Vaginal discharge.
* Redness or pain around a catheter, if present.
* Pain or redness around the vein where chemotherapy is administered.
