Chemo stopped due to CV19 risks

RLP

Hi, I had a call with my oncologist this morning, he told me it was 100% clear to him that my adjuvant chemo after lung surgery should be stopped due to Covid19 risks. I'm 49 years old, live in the South East and have had 2 of the 4 planned cycles but had terrible side effects after cycle 1 and ended up in hospital. I just hope those first 2 treatments did their job!

Has anyone else had theirs stopped?

I'm in 12 weeks lockdown like I suspect many extremely vulnerable people on here are, and have been self isolating for the past 2 weeks as well.

Take care everyone.

    Hi Ruth

    Grade 3 invasive breast cancer triple neg. 

    Yes I was to start chemo on Wednesday before surgery and they have stopped it. Going to do surgery instead (they rang me yesterday!) and my surgeon was to call me today and just been told they are in self-isolation so waiting to see the plan. 

    I have been in lockdown for a week pre chemo, going to stay put and hope for the best. What else can we do?

    Take care xx
