Controlling risk of infection on treatment

Avoid waiting rooms during chemo if you can, particularly if you need to go to your GP or anywhere there are likely to be, or have been, people with bugs you don't want to catch. I trained all the medical receptionists I had to deal with to give me a call immediately before the doctor could see me and I'd wait outside or in the car (probably not the most hygienic place on earth either) I met a bit of resistance from what I describe as Door Bitches but in the end they came around to my point of view. 
It's all a bit of a lottery, just be as sensible as you can and don't let anyone or anything slobber on you. Mxx
