    Chemo

    I was told that if they run short of PPE they might put IV chemo on hold and offer oral chemo options. I don't think it's going to happen, though.

    I asked a nurse 3-4 wks ago

    I asked a nurse 3-4 wks ago why they still haven't gotten proper masks.  She just looked at me and said "don't know."  My stress level is so high when we get close to the center and my heart pounds when I go in.  I wear a mask w/bandana over it, floppy hat and safety glasses.  They wear "cute" homemade masks.  If they go on strike for improper equip. I'm in trouble with finding a new center right now.
