Coronavirus What are consequences for us?

I'm currently receiving chemotherapy. If I contract coronavirus what am I to expect? I'm 59 years old. I don't smoke and don't have any other underlying conditions. I'm wondering if I'm at risk of dying or will the illness just be more severe than mild? I can't seem to find any answers.

    Hi huni,

    I'm awake m stressing too! Start Thursday cycle 1. I am terrified and yes its no secret we are at a higher risk due to our immune systems being down, but the alternative is developing a secondary cancer down the line.

    Its harsh but true. One way or another we will ride the storm. Just isolate even though its hard.

    All i can day is stay in touch, keep chatting  posting and getting some interaction.

    Thats my plan.....we can do this even though its utter crap!!!
