Chemo appointments?

[Bowlsjack]

Having read the advice on shielding for vasculitis patients, how do I manage the nurse’s visit to do blood test and a hospital appointment for regular chemo?

I am sure the hospital will get in touch with details about how to go about your chemo treatment, probably with extra special measures. I am due to have a follow up appointment soon with one of my consultants, and have just had a letter telling me it will go ahead as a telephone appointment, and to have my weight and Bp ready if possible. No mention of the blood tests they wanted done for this appointment though.

Thank you. My appointment with the nephrologjst was changed to a phone consult and she suggested taking a change of clothing!!

I've checked with my Nephrology consultant's secretary and they don't need my blood tests in this situation. So you need a change of clothing to answer the phone!?!
