Hi Nancy @shortshot80 Here's an article and video from Mayo Clinic that offers helpful tips specific to cancer patients.

Even when attending appointments, you and other patients and healthcare professionals can practice good hand hygiene and where possible social distancing. You sure have a lot of miles ahead of you to go back and forth for radiation appointments. You must come home exhausted. Do you listen to music or podcasts or chat while on the road?

Nancy (shortshot) Yes we listen to the radio, we also talk and have good conversations.We listen to "talk" radio, several fellows that have people call in and talk on various subjects. So many conversations to react to. Most of the trip is through the mountain range between Portland and the beach. Lots of static through some of the route. The drive from where I live to the area I have Radiation in is 85 miles one way. So we sometimes solve all the world's problems. Sometimes I take a nap on the way home. Radio on something for my son to listen to. Sometimes we just bs.... Sometimes we see a herd of elk and of course deer. Once a bear. The drive is pretty even when it's raining. We drive along a beautiful river and watch the fishermen. Never a dull moment. Nancy
