Doctors of high-risk patients know how to give the proper advice, which, and I know this may sound surprising to apparently most of the PP's, is based on knowledge outside the scope of 99.99% of DCUM posters.

My oncologist has already been crapped on here for telling me this (which is funny because my 5cm tumor is almost gone - she is rocking my treatment) but she said “Go out and live your life!”  Indoor crowded spaces I should be cautious and wear a mask, but otherwise I should go about my business.

Because those of us who've been through chemo know that an oncologist who's telling a chemo patient to not be Covid-cautious is incompetent. [/quote]

The doctor told her to wear a mask indoors.  Doctors also have to attend to the mental & spiritual health of patients -- isolation is very, very bad for mental health.  We have very good covid medications now, and they actually did a study recently showing that chemo doesn't seem to increase the severity of covid:  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32795225/

So actually, sounds like a very good doctor.  [/quote]

Agreed.  My cousin's DC went through chemo during 2020/2021 and they talked a lot with her doctors about what do do and what precautions to take, not just for the DC but their younger DC as well.  The DC with cancer did virtual learning the 2020/2021 school year but the younger one attended school in person because that was best for them.  Once DC with cancer finished treatment and went into remission, they went back to school and activities last year as well.  The whole family got omicron in the winter and was fine.[/quote]
