Thousands of Scots cancer patients 'living in fear of coronavirus'
Scots with cancer are living in fear of Covid-19, according to research by Macmillan Cancer Support.About 38,000 people with cancer in Scotland – 15 per cent of those who have the disease – have barely left the house because they are scared about catching the virus.Melissa McNaughton, 31, a blood cancer patient, from Glasgow, said: “I’ve never had anxiety but being in lockdown made me anxious to leave my flat. "I’ve had a couple of panic attacks and I’ve felt so trapped.“Usually if I’m anxious or nervous about something I will go for a walk or a drive but I’ve not been able to do that.
