Misty Myers, who uses the TikTok handle @Lifewithmisty8, is battling stage three triple-negative breast cancer at the moment.
For her 35.4K followers, the 28-year-old uses social media to chronicle her struggle with breast cancer and the severe side effects of her chemotherapy, including tooth loss.
The mother-of-eight posted a video this week that showed how using the same restroom as someone receiving chemotherapy might expose friends and relatives to the severe treatment’s adverse effects.
@lifewithmisty8 If the person is receiving chemotherapy treatments, they should be very cautious for the friends and family that are around them by making sure you are following proper protocol. When using the bathroom are urine and feces still have a trace of chemotherapy so it is highly recommended that we flush the toilet multiple times with the lid down and clean the toilet to attempt to prevent exposure to the medication. People who are exposed to chemotherapy and up having tons of side effects #creatorsearchinsights #chemotok #chemo #breastcancer #mycancerjourney #chemodiaries #chemotherapysideeffectssuck #symptomsofcancer #exposedtochemicals
In the video, Misty stated: “If you have someone in your family that has cancer and they’re going through chemotherapy.
It is recommended that the person that is receiving treatment use a separate toilet than everyone in the house.”
