Just wondering whether it would be a good idea to go to a music concert (held in a not very big local theatre) during the 10-14 day period after my first chemo? I know I'm meant to be avoiding crowded places to help avoid infections at this time, but I thought if I avoided the bar area and just sat in my theatre seat (at the end of a row) and left straightaway at the end, then I'm not going to be in direct contact with many people.
What do people think/advise?

When I had my chemo it didn't stop me from doing lots of day to day things. I know some people on this site who have worked during most of their chemo regime. I would certainly avoid flying or tube trains etc. I think if you take all the advice and necessary precautions then you should go for it.
It all depends if you feel up to it in the first place, seeing as this would be your first chemo.
HI I agree with the comments already posted. I had to miss an outdoor festival ( did'nt risk porter loo's) HaHa. But I went to a few indoor concerts , took my hand wash for the toilets as an extra message. I carried on as normal . when feeling fine.
Thanks everyone for replying, it's really helped me make up my mind . The whole being ill thing is all so new to me that I seem to be unable to use my common sense at the moment!
