Question for an Expert
I do have a question for an expert, an immunologist if possible, my question: for those undergoing chemotherapy and living with a family member who is a front line worker, should separate living arrangements be made to protect the cancer patient from potential COVID19 exposure?
Thanks,
Thanks,

Hi @BeamBlossom, I'm not an expert, but I too have a family member who is a font line worker. My daughter is a nurse working in ICU. We don't live in the same home anymore, but she does come to visit me. We don't hug; limit visits to bi-weekly; and maintain a 6 foot distance from each other. However, my best friend in Nova Scotia also has cancer (not ovarian) and her husband is a doctor. They are not living in separate quarters. She had finished chemo a few months before Covid hit and is now engaged in a drug study. Not sure if you're aware, but CBC News is doing a nightly series where they have medical experts, including immunologists, answer questions from the public. Perhaps you could send your question in to them at: [email protected] Hope this helps. Stay safe and Best Wishes, M.0
