A member asked:
If i get mono or bronchitis while being in stage one lung cancer will it speed it up and kill me?

Viral infection: Developing mono or bronchitis or other minor infections will not kill you. More severe infections like pneumonia can, especially if you are undergoing chemotherapy.

No: There is no evidence that if you get mono this will affect your cancer, at least that we know of.
