    I would normally ask our nurses to respond as I am sure they would be able to advise you on this, but unfortunately they are not available on weekends. Do you have the number of an out of hours doctor you could get in touch with or perhaps you could ring the hospital where you are currently having chemotherapy treatment?  I am sure they will be able to guide you on this and I think it is best to check with a medical professional because you go. If that fails, you could perhaps also try to ring the 111 NHS service? Sorry I can't be of more help myself and I hope you will hear from the experience of others in our community.

    Were you planning to watch an exciting game?

    Best wishes,
