Neutropenia

It’s lovely to see the helpful support being shared here! :purple_heart: And I’m sorry to hear that you’re feeling gloomy @Liz5. It’s a tough balancing act, isn’t it? Staying healthy physically (like avoiding infections) and staying healthy mentally (by not giving up activities you love).

Just wanted to pop in and mention that we have a free Blood Cancer Infection Alert Card that might be useful - it’s a pocket-sized guide with information about infection symptoms to look out for, what to do if you think you have an infection, and advice on what to say if you go to A&E. It also has space to write down your own symptoms and personal details to show medical staff.

Worth having in your wallet or sharing with family members.

Also do check out our post about Staying Well In Winter - Infection Information Round-Up, as it has some useful info.

Take care,
