This is my first post, so I hope this is in the right place.

In May, DS (14) was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, he's been having chemo since. Yesterday, he started coughing, we all did a LFT and his came back positive so we booked a PCR and that came back positive today!

Luckily, at the moment he seems ok apart from coughing quite a bit and being very tired.

I'm just so worried about him, its like one thing after another Sad

Have you informed his doctors? I'm so sorry, op.

Big hugs. Are you on the CCLG parents and carers Facebook page - full of helpful info. My little girl was just off chemo when the pandemic started and I was terrified (she was in shielding group to start with) but actually all the research seems to be showing that kids with cancer are not especially at risk from Covid.

It’s still scary though. Lots of love to you and him
