I am 70, 4 years post BC, had chemo and radiotherapy, 1 shoulder replacement and 2 knee replacements since, one only 10 weeks ago. Husband and son insisting I self isolate because immune system compromised. Ok, I can cope with that, but my elderly neighbour, 92, is not self isolating. She had BC same time as and ignored it, ended up having emergency mastectomy 2years later but no chemo or radiotherapy, but takes Anastrozole now. She has many visitors, older than me, a mobile hairdresser, a son at work all day , who has brought many colds home and passed them on before, she had pneumonia last winter and almost died. I normally visit two afternoons a week for a couple of hours but not now.
who is right? Am I at risk because of my health history? Am I right not to visit her? I do feel guilty but feel I should listen to my son and husband also. Any comments?
