I’m looking after my Dad who was recently diagnosed with DLBCL stage 4. He’s just come home from his first round of chemo. Should I be wearing a mask all the time at home? I go out to work each day .
Hi YCH,
Just my opinion personally i think shower and change your clothes when you come home straight from work. As hes doing chemo. And keep what you can sterile and clean around the house. Less germs. And if you think wearing a mask will help do so. Gargel with mouthwash when come home from work. Cuts the germs down. And make sure your hands are clean
Hope this helps Dee
