Hi Gang,

I got a letter from NHS by post yesterday concerning new treatments to help if you develop Covid-19. Saying "your medical records show that you might be suitable for these treatments." It also states that these treatments need to be given quickly after you start to experience Covid-19 symptoms. It tells me to keep the letter safe so I can refer to it in the future. I qualify for priority PCR tests, being on the high risk register.

I'm wondering if anyone here has had one of these letters? I'm curious how many letters have been sent out!

Look forward to hearing your experiences. Take care everyone!

Hi Frank, I'm really pleased the steroids are working for you. My pharmacy is always getting prescriptions wrong, it's worth phoning your surgery! I take it no one has mentioned slowly reducing your steroids yet since they just seem to have started working.

I would definitely contact my GP or Oncologist, whoever it was who prescribed them in the first place and tell them you have just started to feel the benifit of taking them!

Good luck, please let me know how you get on! I would do almost anything to be able to go for a walk, under my own steam, so don't let them take that away from you! Take care.

Under palliative care but not having any treatment at moment. Onc and I felt having chemo for a 2nd time was too risky for me. Not had this letter.
