Hi,
I'm luckily 2 and half years in remission from hodgkins lymphoma. In the first lockdown I was told to shield, which I did to the best of my ability.
My haematologist at the time said 2 years after treatment you can still be extremely vulnerable, but after 2 years the risk will be much less.
I've been sent another letter that advises me to stay at home as much as possible in the last few days,and if I do a job I can't do from home I am advised not to work.
I feel fit and healthy, I am a runner and a fairly healthy eater, i have normal bloods and no other health issues, I'm an optometrist and so I am in close contact with lots of people, obviously in full PPE.
My question is does anyone know why I still am classed as high risk? Is anyone else in my position been told they arent high risk?
Thank you 
Leanne
So I am 5 years post my last treatment for NHL and I am still seen as ‘very’ vulnerable but this is based on my treatment journey and post treatment ‘left overs’ like a reduced immune system.
You do need to take guidance from your team as you will still be on the original shielding register.
