Working with cancer / covid19

Good morning i am a 53 year old male who has recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer so far i have been put on hormone therapy and will soon be starting a course of radiotherapy for 6 to 8 weeks. Please could you tell me if my immune system would be low at this stage and if i should be working given the threat of the covid virus and the fact that i also suffer from copd. I have also started to notice that my bones in general seem to ache and hurt a lot more since ive started the hormone medication espespcialy my hip and thigh along with my muscles in general. 

  • Hi Robb, welcome to our friendly forum, you need to contact your cancer nurse to answer your questions as they will know your case better than anyone else.  Just to wish you good luck with your treatment as well as to stay safe.  Kind regards, Carol 

  • Thank you for your reply to my message i have spoken to my doctor this morning who said i cant work at this stage due to medication given all the side effects ect.

    And thank you for your best wishes ref going forward with my treatment please stay safe and well
