A member asked:
My cousin is going through chemo. last week i was positive for pregnancy. can i go visit him without any harm?

Chemo risks: Quick answer-- Yes, and it would be good for both of you. The risk to your child from any ambient metabolites of chemotherapy drugs you might be exposed to is really low. If he were getting radioactive iodine treatments or some other implanted radioactive substance, you might wait until he clears confinement.

Yes, Chemo does not: Chemo does not affect anyone other than those receiving the drugs for their Cancer or those who physically handle or administer the chemo drugs. You should feel free and safe to go about seeing your cousin in the hospital.
