Hi,

Treatment can last for anywhere from 3 to 6 months. During that time, you would be considered to be immunocompromised — not as able to fight infection.

After finishing chemotherapy treatment, it can take anywhere from about 21 to 28 days for your immune system to recover.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Monish De, Oncologist
