Cancer Risk For Healthy People With Chemo

Question

Please tag an oncologist, we have a child who has leukemia and is on chemo. he also takes chemo pills which we grind and make powder for him. I am afraid that we often come into contact with those chemo pills, injections. Is there any chance of us getting cancer due to that frequent exposure to these drugs?

No. There is no risk for you or other family members, looking after the child to get cancer due to child chemotherapy. Thank you

There is no risk but make sure he follow a customized nutrition plan according to his body condition. Book Appointment. Because body immunity matters.
