Coronavirus Letter From Nhs

[Monalise]

I have received a letter informing me as 'more vulnerable' to take additional precautions etc - these will impact on the entire household. However, I am not included in any of the vulnerable lists. I had treatment for breast cancer which was completed last March. I rang GP surgery and receptionist said she didn't know why I had received the letter and that they did not send letters out. I would be very grateful if anyone can help clarify this situation as I don't know who to contact for information as I thought that GPs would have provided names of those at most risk.

Thank you so much for all your help. I am 67, stage 1 breast cancer with treatment completed last March/April therefore all traces of chemo drugs have left the system. I have the flu jab past two years (as has my husband but no letter there) - letter (from NHS but also has GP surgery address) - informs me that the NHS has identified me as 'someone at risk of severe illness should I catch COVID-19'. The letter then goes on to list those at most risk and specifically lists - 'people with specific cancers as well as those who are 'undergoing active chemotherapy …'
I don't fall into any of the categories mentioned - hence the query and stress! Is anyone else in similar position?
Many thanks again for your support at this time.

One of the Ministers or Secretaries of State said some may get letters in error because of a change in circumstances but better to be over-cautious than not.

Lockdown - 3 weeks at present. NHS letter = self-isolate for 12 weeks+ ...
