Interesting news today about dex as a treatment for severe COVID-19. One can't help wondering if 20mg a week might also have a prophylactic effect? Probably better not to bet on it.

'Phoned the chemo nurses today to check that they were aware of the switch back to Zometa next week - inevitably they weren't but will now chase it up. They also said they're now COVID-screening everybody prior to any kind of treatment, so I'm likely to be called in Friday or Monday for a test.

Also 'phoned the GP surgery about my next B12 injection, due on 1st July. They're now doing nurse appointments again for that but I'm arranging for home delivery and self-injection like last time. No point in the 'extremely vulnerable' taking any coronavirus risk when there's an alternative.
