My 20year old son is having chemotherapy for bowel and liver cancer.I have a 7year old daughter attending school,should I remove her from school to lower the risk to my son?,I know at the moment the government are saying to continue school as normal but I don't know what to do for the best.There are no reported cases within a 30mile radius of where we live so I'm wondering if I'm overreacting if I remove her from school?,any thoughts or advice greatly welcomed!

  • Hello Wazza

    I'm sorry to hear that your son is currently undergoing chemotherapy. Undoubtedly this will be a very difficult time for you all. 

    I know that since your post the information about mandatory school closures has been issued by the government which I'm sure has maybe helped a little as the decision is now out of your hands. I did want to share two links with you, one is our science blog here and the other is about COVID-19 and cacner which you can find here. Hopefully these links will help with some information over the coming days and weeks. 

    Sending my best wishes,
