Historic Chemo and Covid19

Hi

If you had a chemo 10 years ago would your immune system have returned to normal...or is there still a greater risk than normal of being vulnerable to Covid 19. Person now in self isolation... but still have to go out to shop, go to pharmacy etc.

Thanks for all you do and are continuing to do

  • Hello Emi10, 

    [@Lauren12433]‍ posted here today and asked a similar question. I think as each case is so different and as medical backgrounds and underlying health conditions will inevitably vary from one person to another, the best thing to do would be to give your GP a call and simply ask whether this person would fall in the 'vulnerable' category. Make sure you give all the details about this person's medical history and other possible health conditions.

    We have a page on coronavirus and cancer here and our nurses also have a helpline which you can ring for free on 0808 800 4040 Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm if you want to talk things through with them. 

    Best wishes,
