[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  He had lung cancer and taken chemotherapy. Chemotherapy causes decrease in blood count.  It is immune suppression Chat Doctor.  It leads to decrease in the immunity and person is prone to infection.  So it can lead to septicemia.  It is very common side effect of chemotherapy.
