My wife was diagnosed with cancer Dec. 23rd. Our lives changed dramatically. 6.5 weeks of chemo & radiation started 2 weeks later to help shrink it in order to improve her quality of life. Sitting in the waiting room everyday with her, we were the youngest people in there by at least 15 years.
Surgery was supposed to be the first week of March. Tuesday is approaching and we get a call Monday night saying they have people that they believe are infected. They are on the same floor that surgery takes place and the ventilation system is not isolated.
Chemo & radiation weakens your immune system to a near nonexistent level. The surgeon told us in her case, it can be fatal. 3 more times the surgery has been postponed and Friday they said that chemo and radiation may have to be started back up until the Covid situation stabilizes. It was 'rough' to put it mildly the first time. I can't imagine what it will do this time. I pray that I don't bring it home.

My wife was just finishing up radiation for her breast cancer treatments when this all started, which was the end of her treatment. I can't imagine how this impacts your family. Like its not stressful enough on its own. Good vibes to you and your wife ~~~~~~
