Hi,

 

I had acute lympoblatic leukaemia when I was 3 years old. I'm now 22 and I don't know if I will be affected as much by the coronvirus if I ever had it. Just worried I wont be able to fight of the infection as good as if I didnt have the treatment.

    Hello Lauren12433, 

    Welcome to our forum. I can totally understand why you are worried and I think it would be a good idea to talk to a GP and explain your circumstances -that you had leukaemia when you were a child and whether this means you are in the 'vulnerable' category. 

    We have information on coronavirus and cancer on this page which may be of interest to you. Feel free also to give our nurses a call on 0808 800 4040 if you want to talk to them about this - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.

    Best wishes, 

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
