Advice on caring for husband during chemo

Hi there,

My husband (39) was diagnosed with bowel cancer in January, had to have emergency surgery due to perforated bowel and starts chemo next week.

Really really wanting to do everything I can to support him through the 6 months of chemo ahead so please, any advice or tips on this would be fantastic!

Any specifics like a good mouthwash to avoid mouthsores, how to reduce chance of nerve damage to hands and feet, are bodily fluids toxic on chemo etc etc would all be amazing if possible.

Thank you so much
