I’ve just received the text message from the government recommending that due to my condition I have to stay inside for 12 weeks. It has completely caught me by surprise, as I have no idea what condition they mean!
I am a currently healthy, fit, active, almost 40-year old regular busy mum of two. I survived stage 4 lymphoma 17 years ago, and have had no further treatment for 15 years and no further follow up for over a decade now. Could it be that? I had assumed comorbidities were about current diagnoses, but would perhaps having had cancer the best part of 20 years ago be an issue?
I’ve had pneumonia twice in my life. Maybe it could be this? I honestly don’t know. I have been trying to get through to my GP surgery to ask them, but as expected the line is constantly busy.
It’s shaken me up a bit if I’m honest. We are very much sticking to the rules here, and I’d taken the children out of school the week before they closed anyway. I’m very risk-adverse in usual life, and the fact that I may have been singled out as somehow ‘more vulnerable’ has really floored me. Or... could it be a mistake? And perhaps there’s someone else with the same name who really is more vulnerable?
I appreciate these are questions nobody here can really answer, and I know there are people up and down the country in far, far worse positions at the minute. I’ll keep trying my GP. I just wanted to write it down i suppose.
