Guy, sorry to hear about your continuing health issues. I don't think that you should regret that you charged back into life. It might have exposed you to something. On the other hand, we have never met in person but I suspect that you are not the kind of person who would thrive as a shut-in.
Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery from all things.
I guess the battering your immune system took during treatment might be one reason for the ‘severity’ of the infection? It takes a lot longer than one thinks to recover and, five years down the line, I’m still feeling the side effects of chemo. Stay strong, you have ‘youth’ on your side!
I think it probably was. I talked about this with Prof Hoskin, my oncology consultant and he said that chemo can affect your immune system for "over a year", but I think that was likely quite an understatement. Certainly nobody is querying my turning up twice a year for a free covid jab under the circumstances, and nor do I intend to stop.
What I am being introspective about is the things I can do, somewhat remeniscent of the lockdown era, to avoid catching anything else. At the very least I absolutely need to get back into the habit of wearing an N95 mask on public transport.
You're inspirational, not just in your courage in the fight, but your honesty about it all. I hope you're feeling 100% again soon. 🙏🏻
