Question: Hey doctor,

My question is he asked me if I wanted to go see a movie but I’m wondering is there any dangers being around someone undertaking chemotherapy I’ve heard that the drug is excreted through sweat, urine etc can that effect me if I came into contact or shared a drink what sort of dangers an precautions do I need to be aware or for myself and his safety?
