Questions about handling chemo drug

[wayinhawaii]

Hello all, I just joined your Cat Forum and glad to be here. I have a 14yr old kitty (one of my 7 dear babies) diagnosed recently with GI Lymphoma small cell/low grade. Bless his heart, he's hyperthyroid with stomatitis too. He will be starting oral liquids Chlorambucil and Prenisolone tomorrow. Given 4 days every 3 weeks for life. I've read so much about Chlorambucil and to make sure you wear gloves while handling not to mention while cleaning out litter boxes. My questions are: is this just a precaution while handling this drug? Has anyone else gone to the extreme of isolating their chemo kitty from other kitties in the household? Throwing out their litter boxes after he uses it? Will my other kitties be "safe" around him? I've asked many vets and they don't seem to be concerned that it will affect any of the other kitties and never mentioned having to wear "gloves" while administering. I'm getting really nervous. Any info would be so deeply appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I have no experience at all in this, but just wanted to wish you and your cat the best. Maybe someone else can answer your question.
