Can a cancer patient receive chemo after having a serious case of pneumonia? pan can stage 4.

Yes: His doctors will wait until he has fully recovered and he is strong enough to receive chemo. Chemo will kill cancer cells but will also weaken the body so we need to make sure the patient is strong enough to take it
