My husband had 35 rads and 3 heavy duty chemos and our doctors never said a thing about closing toilet lids and washing things he used. I never heard of this. Nothing my husband did thru treatment ever made me sick. I was very stressed out about the whole ordeal but he never made me physically sick. I sat with him thru his 9 hour days of chemo and I never had any problems. I just never heard of this issue.
Husband diagnosed 2/13 lower lip scc in situ 2 surgeries never scanned. 8 months later diagnosed soft palate scc stage 4A, tonsil and nodes involved. Hpv positive.
