Had breast cancer 12 years ago and have a reacurrance of Breast Cancer  it is Stage 1 but Grade 3. I have had a Masectomy and due to have 4 rounds of chemotherapy in around 2 weeks. Having chemotherapy before I know what to expect. I have had a shielding letter. The letter suggests I get fresh air if possible by sitting in the garden.  It has already been hard not seeing my family grandchildren or friends. I asked my chemotherapy nurse this question regarding my 3rd week of chemotherapy when I felt I had a bit of normality back.

if a person bought their own fold up chair and own drink, did not enter my house but entered  through the side of the house. As long as they sat at least 6 feet away could they come and  say hello as it was family and friends that really helped me get though the chemotherapy last time? I was told no. Do you think I am putting myself at risk ?
