I'm a breast cancer survivor ,did chemotherapy,radiotherapy and surgery 7years ago ,with this covid-19 should I self isolate because at my place of work some people are already infected and my employer want me back to work with immediate effect I was thinking I might be at risk and also put my residents at risk .Thanks
Hi and welcome to our corner of the Community.
Your question is not one that we can answer as we are not medical professionals, every cancer journey is different and we can only look at our own cancer journey.
For me I am 4 1/2 years post my treatment (see my profile) but have had ongoing infection issues and a weekend immune system so I did revive the ‘at risk’ letter and phone call from my GP so I am in basic isolation for 12 weeks.
This Macmillan’s cancer and coronavirus (COVID-19 advice.
The main thing that needs to be taken into consideration is any underlying health conditions that would make you fall into the ‘at risk’ groups but the best person to guid you would be your GP.
