A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask the treating doc: Chemotherapy as well as radiotherapy have side effects which can make a person very sick due to damage to the normal cells. This can lead to low blood counts, sores in the mouth or a serious infection of the blood. Your treating doctor can tell you more as to what is going on and what to expect in future.
