I have been named TopOncologist and am the President of the American College of Radiation Oncology. I have seen many patients with compromised immune systems beat the odds. There are somecommonsense strategies to help reduce your risk of getting this virus. And if you get this virus, then there are methods to boost your immune system so you can help your body fight this.
