How Do You Balance Isolation At Home And Going Out In Public When Taking Chemo To Prevent Infections?

Boy, have I ever saved on gasoline! I can’t remember how many weeks ago it was that I filled the gas tank in my truck. Yesterday, after an eye Dr visit, I “had” to go to my Happy Place. It felt good to get out although I dislike the 40 degree weather. I’d rather it be a numbing 22. I’m wondering how much of my new reclusiveness is due to the dreary winter weather. I suffer greatly with fatigue so that’s a lot of the reason I stay home. I’m just flat out too tired to go anywhere. I’m hoping when the Sun decides to shine that it will bolster my mood big time!

If my doctor told me to stay in I'd stay in. Otherwise I did what I needed to do and no more. 😊

Hi Mary Lou. I was being extremely cautious and still got covid winding up.in the hospital. My husband who is my caregiver got it too
I do not go anywhere near crowds except when getting treatment at my cancer center. I've wear an n95 mask and constantly sanitize my hands. Living in florida we are able to go to outdoor locations where we can distance and enjoy nature

N95 masks offer best protection. I notice my isolation but got used to it with Covid lockdown. I go out to beach for walks and Hope fore more pool time.. I have to try to keep 6 ft from people at the pool. Can’t wear mask swimming…

Thanks. I will think about my mask. I get the ones they give out before entering hospital. A dark blue. I always use sanitizer in & out. Keep some in my car. Thanks for info..
