Get yourself a medically approved face mask. Not one of the. Bea pie disposals. You will only have to explain once to friends and family, who will be very understanding.

Yes, but only if your doctor/oncologist approves.personally I do not Yale any meds without running it by my heamotologist-professor.

getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is generally safe for most people, even if you have underlying health conditions like MM. talk to your medical team before making any decision, since they know your medical history and treatment plan.
