Corona risk

Hi all,

does anyone know if being post trac/chemoradiation (four years ago now) would put me into the at risk category for corona virus ? Ie does it impact my immune system etc. I don't get ill more than normal now I don't think but as a teacher am still going into work and wondered what you all thought ?thanks

 

 

I was told by my chemo specialist that as soon as you stop chemo your immune system goes back to normal aftrr around 10 days. So based on that you may not be any more at risk than people who haven't had cancer.

But, i recommend talking to your gp to see if they can clarify for you. 

Hey lovely,

I finished treatment in September after chemorads, I do find it harder to shrug off a cold these days and seem to catch everything going.
My oncologist and CNS gave both told me not to leave the house or go to work, I work in a supermarket. My oncologist appointment was cancelled as he didn't want me going to the hospital. I have had two government letters now advising me not to leave the house or be in contact with any key workers (the hubby which is handy!!) 

I guess each case is individual did you have chemo? It might be worth having a chat with your doctor.

Much love xxx
