Now that restrictions are lifting at different stages across the UK and there are fewer legal requirements of people, it is understandable if young people with experience of cancer feel anxious right now.
You might feel less able to ask people to still follow some steps to keep you safe, like keeping a distance or wearing a mask.
But remember – we are all still being advised to be cautious, even if some of the things we’ve got used to doing aren’t legally required where you live now. And that includes the people around you too.
But if they’re not currently helping you to feel protected, try talking with them and explaining how it makes you feel. It might be that they’re not sure what the advice is for vulnerable people now.
And if you still feel uncomfortable, it’s OK to choose not to see some people right now. This might feel awkward, but putting your health first is always OK, and those around you should understand that.
