Hello everyone 

I have breast cancer wjth met to lymph. I’m 3c and post surgery - lumpectomy and axillary, and die to start chemo in two weeks. Then radio and hormone etc

My question? Passionate animal lover and currently have 8 cats. They are everything as lost husband to Covid and now live alone with them. 

will they be safe around me whilst I am having chemo??? Is there anything I need to be mindful of?? Any advice please as really fretting about this 

thank you 

  • Hi Wildlifelover  I had chemo and two dogs,  Nobody said it was unsafe for them to be with me when having chemo.  Obviously take hygiene precautions like gloves with litter trays etc.  In fact I don't know what I would have done without them, they are such a comfort.  Good luck with your treatment,
