Primary Mediastinal Lymphoma in Remission

Hi Kaniner and welcome....... a very difficult question with no real specific answers.

I think it would all be down to your employers Risk Assessment that they would have to complete to cover your return to work.

You will then need to satisfy yourself that what has been put in place covers your personal safety as far as is within their powers to allow you to return to work.

COVID is going to be around for a rather longer time.

This is a link to various information about COVID challenges on the Lymphoma Action Site.

I have had the exact same treatment for the same cancer. Glad you are in remission. How are you feeling? I had many side affects still the first year. Are you feeling up to working besides covid? 

Have you talked to your medical team? Are your blood levels up to normal? It took mine a year and a half to get back to normal. My lympho(lites?) Were still very low. It usually takes a few years to get back in the green. I don't mean the ones they test every time in the wards. 

Hi again Ducthie I also had R-EPOCH in late 2013/24..... it’s a long journey

I’m feeling good, energy levels can get low at times but I’m able to exercise and feel better after doing so. My blood levels at last check were recovering well. I’ve got another set of blood tests at the end of March and will discuss with medical team and see what they recommend. 

Great to hear you’re in remission

Thanks everyone for your input it’s great to hear other people’s perspective.
