Cancer patient carer and coronovirus

Hi all,

my wife is going through chemotherapy at the moment. On communications today it was stated that she needs to stay away from social interaction for 12 weeks.

i work as a shift manager in a warehouse, for me to do my job I would need as a minimum access to the system and work drives.

Am I entitled to work from home and/or having paid days off work? Money is a big issue, hence the concern.

  • Hi Lopesire and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    It would be best to speak to your work about this but do be sure to keep an eye on the latest information and updates about the coronavirus on the gov.uk website.

    It may be worth getting in touch with Macmillan as well as they have financial advisors you can discuss your situation with.

    I really hope you're able to find out more soon and that your wife's chemo is going well.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
