Hi, 

Firstly just want to say how hapoy I am that you came through your journey and you are doing well. 

So I had to answer as I came across someone asking the same thing and were in a similar situation to you. The reason is that you may well appear on a database and so the government are just taking extra precautions. Honestly, I would not worry about it at all.

Hi,

If you feel anxious about this phone your GP or named cancer nurse. They will be in a good position to offer advice based on your up to date information. I’m no expert but Letrazole may inhibit your immune system and leave you vulnerable to infection in general. A GP recently said that if you qualify for free flu jabs, you should probably be shielding as a sensible precaution.

Starjo is right, almost everyone with a history of cancer who is currently on chemo is automatically receiving these letters as a precaution. At the Trust where I’m working, several members of staff received the same letters in error as they have been in remission for years and not currently taking medication.

Best wishes

Dave
