I can understand your fear about the yeast infection returning with the next chemo. Chemo weakens your immune system, making you more suspectible for it to return. Your chemo nurse may have some good tips to help you prevent the yeast infection (candidiasis of the skin) from returning. I might ask about:
- how to keep skin dry
- if taking a probiotic would help
- does diet help, like reducing sugar

I'll be thinking of you on Thursday.
