While it would be safe for the baby, the grandparent would need to take precautions against contagious diseases. Since babies are notorious germ spreaders (especially those with a lot of contact with other babies such as a daycare setting), people undergoing chemotherapy often avoid too much contact with the little ones. White blood cell counts can drop dramatically during cancer and chemo treatment, leaving patients vulnerable to various contagious illnesses.
However, not all chemo treatments or all cancers cause this problem. This is definitely a question for the oncologist.

Can You mentally support a Chemo therapy patient without affecting yourself?
Everything an individual does affects them; good or bad. To support a Chemo patient means to be there through the good and bad times they may have. Chemo (depending on how much Chemo they will be getting and the length of time) can leave the person feeling sick to their stomach; weak; sometimes depressed and in some cases the loss of hair; perhaps eyebrows and eyelashes can cause further depression. If you feel you can be there 100% for them then you should be. Many Chemo patients are amazing and take their treatments with few complaints.

What do you do when your grown daughter threatens you that if you don't do what she asks you can't see the grandchildren?
This is so, so common! I've heard this story from a couple of my own girlfriends who are grandparents. It doesn't matter what she wants you to do she has no right to blackmail you with the grandchildren. Married or not, she's your daughter so let 'er rip and put her in her place! Kids are never too old to be shot kicked when they are out of line. Don't live under the threat of not seeing grandchildren. I know it's easier said than done, but you might as well take the risk or she may do it anyway.

Death from head and neck cancer?
No - still alive obviously but 2nd recent reoccurrence of Head and Throat cancer, tonsil area, jawbone, and left side of face. Very concerned about 'nil' treatment options since I can not undergo surgery nor re-radiation. Currently chemo but not working that great. Trying to do alternative treatment as well. Wondering how long I have since chemo is not a 'cure' for head and throat cancer. And, wondering 'how much chemo can I body take?
