Can I have Botox a month after my chemotherapy finishes?

Asked By:Kerry p in Ann Arbor, MI

I have had Hodgkins Lymphoma and have been treated for 5 months with chemotherapy drugs (vinblastine, doxorubicin & dacarbazine). This finished 1 month ago and I currently only take acyclovir & co-trimoxazole. Am I safe to have botox in my face now?
