I had my last chemo 6 weeks ago and will be having surgery a week today. My 6 year old has just come out in chicken pox. I am trying to understand the risk to me. I had it when I was a child. I have just stayed away from him so far, not touching him or giving him medicine, and leaving his care to my husband. I called the hotline above and they said I’m being sensible but should speak to my team on Monday.
had anyone else been in this situation? Any help appreciated
