@bspires I had a similar experience. Had to wait in the car waiting to go in for my scans/tests, and then had a video call later with my doctor to talk about the results and next steps. Immediately showered and washed clothes upon arriving home too. This is such a weird time. I hope everyone is doing ok as well!
Take care and stay safe!

I just had my visit with my Oncologist over the phone. I did have to go get blood drawn but was real careful, mask and gloves. Then sanitized car and changed clothes when I got home.

Hi everyone,
How are you today?
How are you managing your cancer now? Have you returned to a "normal life" after these few months of lockdown? Have you been able to reschedule or resume your regular treatments?
Feel free to share! We are all here to help each other!
Take care,
Courtney

Hello everyone,
Since the Coronavirus epidemic concerns many Americans (and Carenity members too), I've created this discussion to allow you to talk specifically about the virus in the context of cancer, as we all know that patients can be weakened by their treatments.
Have you received any special instructions from your doctor regarding your care? Are you going to limit your travel? Do you have any advice for others?
Take care,
Courtney
