About rob66

Good morning i am a 53 year old male who has recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer so far i have been put on hormone therapy and will soon be starting a course of radiotherapy for 6 to 8 weeks. Please could you tell me if my immune system would be low at this stage and if i should be working given the threat of the covid virus and the fact that i also suffer from copd. I have also started to notice that my bones in general seem to ache and hurt a lot more since ive started the hormone medication espespcialy my hip and thigh along with my muscles in general.
