Hello I'm new here. Diagnosed with lung cancer yesterday and today got phone call of family member that they have contracted covid by a test. I'm so worried as they have been near to me when visited me other day. I have booked a drive through test for tomorrow. I did have covid myself in November 2020 but mildly. I just need to know I'm doing the right thing as I really don't want covid. I just can't belived this is happing as I've never had cancer so this is worrying for me. I really hope and pray I've haven't got covid. Thanks all. Joanne. Xxxx
