ACTUALLY PATIENTS WHO ARE UNDERGOING RADIATION THERAPY ARE IN GREAT RISK. BECAUSE THIS RADIATION IS KILLING THE CANCER CELLS ALSO IT KILLS THE HEALTHY CELLS . SINCE RADIATION IS KILLING ALL THE CELLS GOOD OR CANCER CELLS IT IS GOING TO LOWER DOWN THE BODY IMMUNED SYSTEM BY BLOCCKING THE HEALTHY CELLS TO CONTINUE THEIR USUAL FUNCTIONS THAT IS TO PROVIDE THE LIVING ORGANISM TO SURVIVE DESPITE OF THE ENEMY WHICH IS THE RADIATION THERAPY . THE COMMON DSISEASES THAT IS DIFFICULT TO FIGHT BECAUSE OF THE LOWERED RESISTANCE IS PNEUMONIA . sorry for caps XD
