Coronavirus

With so much attention to Coronavirus how long after breast cancer are you still compromised health wise? 
  • @Barks34 thank you for your suggestion! I am new to all this! :)
  • Louweezer maybe you need to start a new discussion with your suggestions 
  • Also check your local independent grocery shops - mine said this afternoon I could email him with a list and he would home deliver #shoplocal !
  • Self isolating and can’t get to the shops?

    For anyone currently having treatment (personally I have stage 4 with spinal mets and am on ribociclib/letrozole/denosumab) - go to the Woolworths website and fill out the priority assistance form to register for home deliveries.

    I applied yesterday and got approval today. Stay safe everyone x
  • Hello @Barks34, you can call the BCNA helpline if you would like to speak with one of the cancer nurses for support and or information. We are currently open 7 days a week from 9am to 5pm on 1800 500 258. Michelle
  • Well that sucks. August for me. As if BC isn’t complicated enough! :(
  • I asked that question on Thursday when in having my chemo. I was told it takes 3 months after all treatment finishes ( including radiation) until the immune system recovers. That scared me - takes me right up until October. I don’t want to even contemplate keeping my 4 kids out of school until then but I guess if I have to I will.
