Covid19

I had stage 3 breast cancer.  Had operation jan 2017. Chemo the radiotherapy which finished august 2017.  I have lymphedema in breast as lymph nodes effected and treated through radio at same time as breast.

I suffer from lower iron levels and mild asthma.

I work with general public as key worker should I still be in work?

  • Hello Morecambe1512,

    I think given your particular circumstances, it would be best to contact your health team and asking them what you should be doing in your particular situation and  if you are unable to work from home as you are a key worker, whether you should consider being off work. 

    There is useful information on our Public Health England site here and you can also find information on the coronavirus and cancer on this page. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday. 

    I hope you find out more soon!

    Best wishes,
