How safe is it go out when having chemo

Is it safe to go into crowded places when having chemo

  • Hello Bonniehig,

    the effects of chemo are cumatalive and the further down the treatment, the harder it becomes.So whilst at the outset it might seem to be no problem, further along it most definitely could be. Your body will have more than enough to cope with, the thought of loading a further illness on top is horrendous, so no be sensible,keep a distance from others whilst your immunity levels will be on the floor,

  • Thank you. He only started his first chemo on 30 th July   Ended up in hospital the following Monday with high temp.  He went to a football match yesterday which I advised against but he still went.  Should I be worried
