I live alone so my dog is really important to me , she takes me out and we meet a lot of people and make friends because of her sunny and outgoing nature. I am about to start on new medication which will lower my immune systgem, and one of the nurses warned me "you will have to be very careful around your dog" which really worried me, but the oncologist didn't seem to think it would be a problem. Has anyone else been given advice on what you can do or can't do with your dog or other pets other than obviously basic hygiene?
