All the very best

Hello izzybruce

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling scared. You can ask your medical team for advice about any steps that you should take.

You may also find it helpful to look at the advice developed by the One Cancer Voice group of charities about COVID-19 for people affected by cancer. You can read it at:

Please do contact our Support Service if there is anything that we can help with.

Best wishes

Julia (Support Services Officer)
