Husband in chemo...coronavirus and kids in school.

I’m starting to worry too. My daughter in law has secondary brain cancer and her three children go to school. The hospice nurse  is coming to the house today I’m going to ask, it’s such a worry isn’t it. I wish I had the answer. Wishing you, your husband and family well.

Hi, I can understand where you are coming from, mum has lung cancer and I am so worried about getting this virus and giving it to her. I am a professional home carer in the community and I live with her and I am so worried I could pick something up and give it to her. Obviously I follow all government guidelines but still I worry. I hope you and your family stay safe and that your husbands treatment goes well. 

I’ve asked the hospice and all they can tell me is to follow government guidelines. That’s not very helpful to our situation. I’m tempted to ask to have the children with me so they can go to school without the worry of them becoming infected and giving it to their seriously ill mum. That would mean denying both her and them access to each other. That would be cruel they need each other’s company now more than ever. It’s such a worry 

I agree, it's not very helpful but unfortunately I don't think anyone has any answers to help us, so all we can do is do all which is advised, but it does not stop the worry. I agree both mum and children need each other so much at this time, as nobody knows how long this will carry on. I hope all goes well for your family. 

So sad and scary for us all. Hope this extra scary time is over soon. Cancer alone is awful and scarily uncertain in itself. Thanks everyone it's nice to know I'm not just be ott and others feel the same.

Love and best wishes to you all xx

I am scared too, I'm away at my last year of boarding school, and as you know they have not been shut down yet and are a breeding ground for nasty bugs. my mother has been doing chemo for stage 4 breast cancer and currently has a very weak immune system. i am terrified that when school finally does get closed, that I have picked something up and will pass it on. im also terrified that she is going to pick it up by other means.

Bless you. Like with our cancer journeys we need to take one day at a time and hope for the best. We're lucky to be online and can support each other. Sending love and best wishes xx
