My MIL in her 70s has lung cancer for a couple of years and is actively receiving immunotherapy treatment. She has been marked in the highest category of shielding and has been at home for the past 12 weeks. Her regular cancer has been a bit stop start, but she is now heading back into hospital for treatment every 6 weeks.
My DH has been around to see her once per week to bring groceries and have a cup of tea in the garden. My DH, young DS and me went around last week to see her before DS went back to primary school as it felt like the right time to do it.
DH spoke to her yesterday and she's had enough of the situation and wants to see us on Father's Day. I'm really concerned that she's putting herself at real risk in wanting to see us now my son now mixing with a bubble at school. Her consultant has already told her that she should be very aware of her situation as she would likely be extremely ill if she caught CV.
Is anyone else dealing with a similar situation with relatives in this situation? I probably just need to accept she has the right to ignore government advice and to choose to see her family. But it worries me so much she may die from CV if she caught it from us, and I'd never forgive myself.
