Hi all

Dad just had first dose of chemo for advanced prostate cancer.  I've read that your immuninty can be low during certain times but no body at the hospital mentioned it.  Are there days where he should avoid large crowds and even going out :-(?  Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks

    Thanks M

    Yes has to have a drink and the loo if he wakes which is ok as it's in their room? :-)!  

    No need for sticks at the mo - he's quite fit and healthy physically - apart from the obvious!!
