why is it that Oncology nurses and Doctor are not wearing masks . Do they get tested for the corona virus. The reason why because one nurse sneezed near me but because they were wearing protective gown and gloves they cant sneeze on sleeve.

Hi Larson, I will be having chemo next monday, and will be asking my oncologist why masks are not being worn by himself and the nurses. Will let you know his answers on this. Stay safe

Hi Lisy, I wore a face mask in the supermarket a couple of weeks ago, even though I wasn't sick. I asked my oncology nurses last monday , when I had chemo, if it was necessary to wear one. They said not really . I was surprised that none of them were wearing masks either. Bit of conflicting information ! Personally I think anything helps, mind you my facemask is a bit stifling and have not been able to get a lighter weight one.

I am in the same boat, but I am not going to let any doctor tell me how long I have to Live ! I try and keep up exercise and mentally that has kept me going. You are not alone and there are many different treatments coming through now on the pbs , which is always hopeful. Stay positive . When you get down, dont let it last too long and do something nice for yourself.🤗

I am doing ok and dodging the flu, which seems to be rampard in the state. Still now we have had the flu jab , it should work. Hope you are doing ok.

Hi Budgie, thank you for your reply. The good thing with having a port is that I dont even feel it and yes you are right, it is 100 times better than trying to hopelessly find a vein ! How are you doing ?

Hi there,
I had a smart port put in about 4 weeks ago, and I am having immunotherapy every 3 weeks, and I have had no problems at all, however the port in the last week seems to protrude more in my chest.
I just wonder if this is normal ?
