Don't believe everything you see on the internet...or portal. By all means, wear a mask whenever you leave your home. At Mayo Rochester, patients and caregivers alike are required to wear masks in treatment/exam rooms. Nurses and the entire staff wear masks all the time, even tho they have "self-tested" before coming to work and once during the day. I find that to be more accurate on the mask question than anything else. And good luck with the CART-T. My wife is in day 4 and so far, no side effects except extreme fatigue, which could be the result of nadar from chemo on days -5.-4 and -3.

@ruttgerbay - So glad the hear your wife is doing so well.

How is your stay at GOL transplant house?

@ruttgerbay - That is great to hear Mayo Rochester requires the use of masks. Too bad Mayo Florida does not and actually asks you not to wear them unless you are sick. This knowledge is from being there 2 days (over 4 hours) with my brain radiation team. I am just praying I have not been exposed. And yes, I will be wearing a mask when I go for my labs and infusion on Thursday whether they like it or not.
