Hi,
Does anyone know what they mean by active chemo? I presumed it was if you currently undergoing it but I have had all the text messages and now the letter and I moved to watchful waiting at the beginning of March (not sure if they knew things we didn't!!) To be reviewed at the end of april.
Based on this I presumed I wouldn't fall into the extremely vulnerable list as not currently on chemo (finished last cycle of tablets nearly 4 weeks ago) and bloods were all fine. My BCN has gone back to the front line to work and I don't really want to bother them, but was just wondering
Thanks
Thanks for the reply Lass.
No other meds except hormone tablets which isn't in the list. I did wonder that about it being too soon after finishing but then it's not active treatment per the list!! So confusing
Hi @Daisydoo38,
Someone I know who finished chemo 4 months ago was suprised to get the text saying she was in the high risk group. The immune system takes a while to re-boot after treatment, so I assume they are being "better safe than sorry".
