I've been in self isolation for 19 days now, since leaving hospital with a chest infection. I was due to start a trial, but that has now obviously been stopped, due to current circumstances. My wife is with me and we are coping well. My GP and palliative care have both been excellent too.

I thought I should reach out and talk to people after receiving an email from McMillan.
