Hi all, curious if anyone can share what steps they were told about masking up avoiding crowds,etc during targeted (btk inhibititor, monoclonal treatment for lymphoma.
Cara3,
Hi! I double masked for 3 yrs after my treatments of RCHOP chemo. I also avoided crowds. My husband and I when we wanted to go out to dinner go through a drive thru and eat it in the car in the parking lot. We called them "Car Picnics." I know it's difficult, but it will be worth staying safe and healthy. Kelly
Hi Cara, I had Rituximab immunotherapy treatment for Follicular Lymphoma.
I avoided crowds such as sporting events and restaurants and wherever possible ate Al fresco which in England is not always possible! After 4 months my bloods came back reasonable and so I resumed normal life but still avoided large crowds because of the underlying threat of Covid. Hope you are feeling good, best wishes John.
I'm a little cautious, and I always carry an N-95 mask in case I feel uncomfortable, if, for example, someone is coughing in church! My doctor's only concrete advice was that if I came down with any kind of infection, I should call him sooner rather than later so that I could be treated. That sounded like advice I could live with.
I just finished 6 months treatment for marginalzone B cell lymphoma..I have been using medical masks at venues and for all shopping outside of home…I am cautious but need to balance living normally as possible. Only caught bug in Mexico..
Glad to hear you have achieved some kind of balance with being careful and living life !
