My daughter woke up at 230 this morning vomiting and diarrhea. Dont know if itis a virus or the stomach flu. I am currently doing chemo and was hoping someone could tell me how to avoid getting sick! My husband is taking care of her so I dont have to clean up after her which helps but of course being on the chemo I am nervous....Any advice woud be more than welcomed!!!!!

Hi Kerri...
I imagine you probably already had your flu shot, yes? A lot of people I know swear by Airborne... it's for people who fly alot.. but.. it's not any different than a house full of cold/flu germs! They are tablets you disolve in water .. so guaranteed to absorb..if you sip it. You can buy it in any drug store or grocery store.
Other than that.. just the cleanliness.. I'm so thankful that your husband is there for you and willing to take over!! Bless him!
You might want to check in with your oncologist also.. see what advice they could give you to keep this out of your system.
You are in my prayers Kerri! Be well... stay hydrated.. and rested!!
Good luck! I pray that your daughter feels better.. very soon!!!
