    it all depends on who you support

    you are advised to be careful when on chemo, but if you take it to the enth degree you would just lock yourself in your house and not come out

    thats a bit severe

    even when trying to be careful, people we come into contact with, have been in contact with other people and those other people will be in contact with many others

    so in theory every time you come into contact with one person you are exposing yourself to hundreds of people

    my advice is be sensible, it is the time of year when coughs and colds are abundant, it's good to get out and still do stuff and if at all it most probably best to go at the early stages of chemo rather than at the end

    life still goes on and treatment can sometimes be miserable, break it up with doing things

    however if your team looses that may not be the best tonic
