My wife was recently diagnosed with cancer; she had a section of her colon removed and is now starting chemotherapy. She had her first session on Monday.
I was talking to a friend of mine today and he asked if the Doctor told me to pump my septic system on a regular basis while my wife is going through chemo. I told him that she did not mention it; he said another friend of his wife's had cancer and the doctor told him to pump it on a regular basis (how often, I don't know)
My friend said the stuff in the chemo that kills cancer cells will also kill the bacteria in the septic. I will ask the Doctor at our next appointment in about a week in a half; but until then I was wondering if anyone else has gone through this or know of someone that has and what did you/they do?
What he said does seem to make sense to me, I just thought I would throw it out here until I get a chance to ask the Doctor.
