I know radiation and chemo lowers the bodies immune system. So I think he has to stay away if the baby is sick... a fever, the sniffles... anything!

I'm in a similar situation. My daughter just recently got her 1 year shots (I think the 1 year ones...) and I have to keep her away from my brother in law's mother for a full month. She has cancer and is undergoing radiation and chemo as well, so I'd say as long as you're son hasn't gotten shots recently, it would be okay. Might want to have your uncle call up one of his doctors to make sure, it would be awful if your uncle got sick.

yes unfortunately, his immune system will be very weak. Even if you have the slightest sniffle, you should stay away too.

Maybe.. because your uncle will be immocompromised and you dont' want your son getting sick. Plus your uncle may not be up to par to spending time with your son. I think they are pretty sick when they get treatments
