Being a Doctor me my team haven't stopped their treatment Since COVID started we are so proud we saved/touched thousands of lives, And “She said cancer patients should not discontinue or stop the treatment, they should strictly focus more on treatment, they should not panic by taking treatments otherwise the disease may get worsen and aggressive.” On average Cancer patients who are currently going through the treatment gets steriods (Dexona ) before the chemo, are not more susceptible to the COVID virus, they might likely get complications because of their underlying health condition. Palliative & terminally sick people who are prone, they are likely to get affected on virus because of the aggressive nature of the disease.
