My partner was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma last week. He is receiving his staging results this week, he is in his 40’s. Please could you advise us with regards to his chemotherapy treatment. My job is high risk I work in a primary school, germs galore. I’m scared I will bring back Covid and colds to my partner.
Our daughter attends secondary school and my other daughter attends university.
I am cleaning relentlessly to minimise any risk of contamination. We are all worried for my partner/dad that we will make him seriously ill during chemotherapy. We don’t want my partner to feel excluded from his family. But how do we keep him safe ?
many thanks
