Oncologist Questions Chemotherapy

What is the after care required for a chemotherapy patient?

My father has been undergoing his chemotherapy. Although we are taking care of his basic hygiene at home, are there any other precautions we should be taking?

Make sure his white blood cell count is in the normal range, especially his ANC which is his Absolute Neutrophil Count which helps fight infections. If it's too low he is susceptible to getting infections. Make sure he is eating right, no processed food, no white bread, sugar or alcohol and make sure he does some kind of exercise during the day.
