What to Avoid During Chemotherapy
1. Avoid Certain Foods
Your oncologist will provide a specific dietary list. Here are general guidelines:
Hard Foods: Avoid toast, chips, or any hard-textured food that may damage the delicate lining of your mouth, increasing the risk of mouth sores.

Very Hot or Spicy Foods: Extremely hot or spicy foods can cause sensitivity or mouth ulcers.
Acidic Foods: Avoid citrus fruits and other sour items as they can worsen existing mouth sores.
Grapes: Chemicals in grapes may interact with chemotherapy drugs and should be avoided.

2. Stay Hydrated
Proper hydration is essential during chemotherapy. Dehydration can worsen side effects such as nausea and vomiting. Drink adequate water to maintain hydration and support your body’s recovery.

3. Avoid Smoking and Alcohol
Both smoking and alcohol negatively interact with chemotherapy drugs, increasing the risk of side effects. Alcohol can also cause dehydration, which may exacerbate nausea and fatigue.

4. Don’t Overwork
Avoid heavy physical tasks and maintain a flexible work schedule to conserve energy. Chemotherapy can increase weakness, so focus only on essential activities and save energy for recovery.

5. Avoid Crowded Public Places
Your immunity is significantly reduced during chemotherapy, making you more vulnerable to infections. Crowded places increase the risk of exposure to illnesses like colds and flu, which could delay your treatment or require hospitalization.

6. Avoid Close Contact with Sick Individuals
If someone in your family or neighborhood is ill, avoid direct contact. Even minor infections can lead to severe complications due to weakened immunity.

7. Avoid Pregnancy
Chemotherapy can harm a developing fetus. If you are undergoing chemotherapy, use barrier protection like condoms to prevent pregnancy. Discuss contraceptive options with your oncologist to ensure safety.

8. Avoid Herbal and Ayurvedic Supplements
Certain herbal supplements may interfere with chemotherapy drugs, reducing their effectiveness or increasing side effects. Always consult your oncologist before taking any supplements.

9. Avoid Vaccinations Without Approval
Vaccines, especially those containing live organisms, can be harmful during chemotherapy. Avoid flu shots or cervical cancer vaccines unless specifically approved by your doctor.

10. Avoid Processed or Unhygienic Foods
Eat only fresh, home-cooked meals to minimize the risk of foodborne infections. Avoid eating outside, and steer clear of packed or processed foods.
