I need advice please!

Hi Dicha, 

Sorry to hear about the COVID nightmare in your household.

I think calling the Radiotherapy Department to ask for their advice the best way forward.  

Good luck with the rest of your treatment. Best wishes, Karen 

I agree with Karen Dicha that the best thing to do is to ring the radiotherapy unit for advice. I'm currently having chemo and they ask me before each treatment do I have covid or have I come into contact with anyone who has covid.

Hi Dicha, just to add, think I’ve seen previous posts where in this sort of scenario people were given the last appointment of the day to avoid contacts. Fingers crossed that your treatment can still go ahead, sorry you have this additional worry. Also just tagging the lovely Exraygirl as she may have some information. Love and hugs, HFxx 

This happened to me exactly a year ago today!  Phone the hospital & tell them the situation.  I had the option of delaying my treatment by a week although I don’t think they’d want to do this as you are already a long way in.  I was given the last  appointment of the day so I didn’t come into contact with anyone vulnerable.  I took dally LFT’s - all negative.  They basically treated me as though I was positive wore full PPE.  Best thing was I got parked without any issues & no hanging around.  Good luck.

Hi Dicha

In the UK I believe most departments would ask you to continue to test daily and change your appointment to the last slot of the day so you come into contact with less people They continue treatment even if you test positive..

it would be best to speak to the RT dept as I know you are in Spain and things may be different there

You are doing the right thing by trying to stay separate at home as much as possible.

Fingers crossed you won’t get it and your treatment can continue as normal.xx

Hi xraygirl, April2021 and happyfeet1,

Thanks all of you for that! I think that as I'm pretty much the last patient of the day at 8pm, I should be safely not mixing with too many people! This is really the last thing I needed to be honest, but it's happened, and you just have to deal with the nice parcels life can throw at you I suppose. I'll continue to test daily and just hope and pray I am lucky and don't get a positive reading. Hope you are all doing ok? X

Thanks latchbrook and karen22. Hope you are both ok? X

Hi Dicha

Thanks for asking after me. I'm a week past my second cycle of chemotherapy. The first one wasn't too bad and I'm hoping this one will follow a similar pattern which would mean I'll be feeling 'normal' again in a few more days time.

Hi Dicha I’m fine thanks.  1st annual mammogram results in May were all clear.  I was panicking that something was wrong so very relieved when results came through.   The last year has flown by.

Thanks for the tag HappyFeet1

Hope you are doing ok xx
