Best Answer

If your friend is on chemo, that person would generally have a severely weakened immune system and even something as simple as the common cold could be enough to eventually kill them. Therefore, if you have a sore throat, it is very important for you to stay clear of your friend, until you no longer present a risk of infection to them.

Can pregnant women be around chemo patients?

Yes, they are perfectly safe to be around pregnant women, 'Cancers' are not contageous in the sense that just being around someone can cause you to get it.. however if they have recently been treated with chemo (a few hours, days ago) you may want to keep a little distance as some chemicals used in hospitals are not safe for pregnant women- but in general, you should be perfectly fine if you are pregnant around someone undergoing chemo. As long as the person isn't sick with a contageous illness on top of whatever they've been diagnosed with- like strep throat, flu, bronchitus etc.

Can you take antibiotics while on chemotherapy?

No one can give an answer to that on Answers.com, not even a doctor. Don't ask your really smart friend or your cancer support group either. If any of those people says "yes" (or "no" for that matter) don't take their word for it. As a general rule, to be on the safe side, it's probably best not to take anything while on chemo without your own doctor's permission. Even if another doctor prescribes something, but doesn't know and duly consider that you are on chemo and exactly which chemo drugs at that, call your own doctor before taking it and never go to that other doctor again.Really. Chemo messes with your body in so many different ways that only a doctor who knows all of your details can tell you what's safe to take with it and what's not. There are some things the internet just can't, or shouldn't answer for you.
