Corona Virus Risk to Cancer Survivors

Hi guys,

When I was trying to figure out whether my cancer history put me at greater risk of corona virus, I ran across this study of corona virus and China. The patients in the study were still in followup, so I am not sure how it applies to long-term survivors like me (diagnosed back in 2003, really high risk but still alive and kicking). If any longterm survivors are reading this, I would love to know what you had heard. Posting this article here partly because her2support.org always had the brightest patients. I need to make some decisions about work.

Re: Corona Virus Risk to Cancer Survivors

Fred Hutchison Centre has questioned the research because there are only 18 cases and also a similar study.
