Dear @Fufan
Welcome to the site - I hope it will prove helpful in what has been a tricky start to dealing with bc.
I didn’t have metaplastic bc so can’t advise, but sympathise with a diagnosis that is rare. I hope someone else can share their experiences.
The conventional wisdom with chemo is that it suppresses your immune system and you are more susceptible to infection while being treated. I worked through treatment, in an office and in major events and never had any problem, but COVID changes things! Talk with your medical team but I’d be surprised if they didn’t advise caution, at least until you know what your reactions to chemo are and your mastectomy wound has healed properly. Best wishes.
