I am 1000% certain those precautions were not for rtx. Chemo drugs cannot be administered in the regular Infusion Clinic at JHU, where I get my rtx infusions. They're not set up to handle proper disposal, etc....
It had to be the MRSA, Brooke.
Funny story: When I was first treated for Wegs with oral ctx, I wound up back in the hospital with complications. The morning nurse came in to give me my a.m. meds and was all suited up with the heavy duty rubber gloves, etc.... She said it was necessary because I was on chemo. I told her it wasn't nearly as potent as IV chemo and it wasn't necessary just to give me one pill. When my doctor came in later I told him and he cracked up laughing.
