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 I am interested to hear how things went after your 2 of 4 adjuvant chemo cycles. I hope you don't mind me contacting so long after this event for you.

    I had an upper right lobectomy October last year (2023).

    I had my 2nd adjuvant chemo cycle last week. My 1st chemo cycle was ok but this time I'm am totally wiped out. Spending a lot of time in bed and falling asleep all the time. I am worried about going ahead with the 3rd and 4th cycle. 

    I am thinking of contacting my consultant to discuss not having the 3rd and 4th but worry that I'd regret not having them if the cancer returned.
