I was diagnosed with colon cancer and had an operation to remove my left colon a month ago. i have been homeless prior to my surgery and due to the chemo i am due to be housed and even though i am fit for discharge i haven't been discharged due to my current housing situation, my concern is that i was told chemo will render my immune system weak and will make me susceptible to diseases and other viruses. I wanted to find out how living in a shared environment could impact your health especially if you are sharing an environment with a complete stranger and how this could impact your health. What can i do if i am offered a shared environment as this is all new to me and i am worried how i will cope considering the fact that i may need family support especially from my children. Please advice thanks.
